Current behavior
It seems that the new TurboTable only accepts the same filters as the old DataTable, except a few more, and does not allow customization.

Expected behavior
It would be great to be able to pass to a given column (or to the whole TurboTable, if necessary) a custom filtering function (filterFunction(value, filter)).

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
I've seen a few DataTable filter requests in PrimeNG issues. Customization would prevent this, and at a fairly cheap price (the filtering function may be either a column attribute, or passed in the Table.filter method, instead of the matchMode parameter).
