Title: add comparison filters and TimestampsFilter

This change adds the full suite of HBase comparison filters to asynchbase. `KeyRegexpFilter` should be considered for deprecation / removal, as it is superseded by `RowFilter`/`RegexStringComparator`. The integration tests pass against HBase 0.94.6-cdh4.3.0, but fail against 0.96.1-hadoop1 while executing the `DependentColumnFilter` tests in `TestIntegration` with the following stacktrace:

```JAVA

```

My best guess is that this happens because `Scanner` always sets `max_num_kvs`. Is there a way to disable this?
