Dynamic filters

INTELIE Live supports that the Pipes filters react to dynamic parameters of a query. This is useful to support interfaces that allow the user to change the filters without the need of changing the query expression.
The dynamic values are passed in the lookupValues argument of the Query object. This argument is a map<string, list<string>>, where the key is the name of a Lookup Table and the value is a list of the desired keys in that Lookup Table. INTELIE Live will apply to the query the values corresponding to each of those keys.
Lookup Tables are structures that associate multiple values with keys. They can be created programmatically through the API or through the web interface. A Lookup Table created programmatically will not be editable through the web interface.
The @@lookup macro allows the lookup values to be used on the query. For every Lookup Table created, a @@lookup.name_of_the_table macro will be available.
When this macro is used on a query, it will be dynamically replaced by the values corresponding to the Lookup Table keys in the lookupValues query argument.
Some functions are also created to facilitate the use of the Lookup Tables keys and values on any Pipes query.
