Description

While working on CASSANDRA-7396, it turned out that it could be beneficial to modify ColumnFilter class:

• Allow multiple single element + slice filters for a single column
• At the moment we fetch all cell paths for a single column and just skip the values. For a subselection it feels more convenient to just return the selected cells and skip the filtered cell-paths.
• Remove Thrift related code.

This requires a change in the serialized format of ColumnFilter and thus proposed for 4.x.
