(Buffer Contents): Add NOPROPS arg to filter-buffer-substring.

@defun buffer-substring-no-properties start end
This is like @code{buffer-substring}, except that it does not copy text
properties, just the characters themselves.  @xref{Text Properties}.
@end defun

@defun filter-buffer-substring start end &optional delete
This function passes the buffer text between @var{start} and @var{end}
through the filter functions specified by the variable
@code{buffer-substring-filters}, and returns the value from the last
filter function.  If @code{buffer-substring-filters} is @code{nil},
the value is the unaltered text from the buffer, what

If @var{delete} is non-@code{nil}, this function deletes the text
between @var{start} and @var{end} after copying it, like
@code{delete-and-extract-region}.

Lisp code should use this function instead of @code{buffer-substring}
or @code{delete-and-extract-region} when copying into user-accessible
data structures such as the kill-ring, X clipboard, and registers.
Major and minor modes can add functions to
@code{buffer-substring-filters} to alter such text as it is copied out
of the buffer.

@defun filter-buffer-substring start end &optional delete noprops
This function passes the buffer text between @var{start} and @var{end}

between @var{start} and @var{end} after copying it, like
@code{delete-and-extract-region}.

If @var{noprops} is non-@code{nil}, the final string returned does not
include text properties, while the string passed through the filters
still includes text properties from the buffer text.
