Support filter parameters in Configuration

Based on work done in doctrine/mongodb-odm#908

My understanding is that this makes it easier to setup filters at boot time, instead of having to fetch them from the collection later on.

For added context, the related PR from MongoDB ODM's Symfony bundle is  doctrine/DoctrineMongoDBBundle#255
this should return an empty array rather than ``null`` IMO, so that the return value is always an array
