Description

Currently there exists an API to clear filtering per column but there is no simple API to clear them all. The example at http://allenfang.github.io/react-bootstrap-table/example.html#column-filter suggests to clear them one by one but that's inconvenient when the table is dynamic.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a public API method to clear all column filters at once. Review the existing filter implementation, likely in files like 'src/filter' or similar. The current workaround involves iterating over columns and calling the per column clear method. A new method, e.g., 'clearAllFilters', should be added to the table's API. Check the comments for any discussion on desired API shape or edge cases.
