This adds filtering to the implicit solver, replacing PR #4600.

It is a simple change. All that is needed is adding a call to filter the Efield_fp just before the particles are pushed. The current density is already filtered in SyncCurrentAndRho.

The name of the routine ApplyFilterJ was changed to ApplyFilterMF since it now has a more general usage.

Should ApplyFilterJ() be different than applying a filter for E or B when using curvilinear geometries?

I believe the filter should be applied to the current before dividing by the volume element to convert to current density. Perhaps this is being done somewhere else?

You are probably correct, but filtering doesn't work for RZ as it is now (at least for FDTD). As it is now, the inverse volume scaling is done before the filtering. That order could be changed but that would need to be a separate PR.

This looks good to me.

We could also add filtering to the magnetic field as an option. That should probably be a separate PR though.
