Review Comment:
   I've mentioned this sort of thing many times before on the list and in 
conversations for the last 3-4 years. Almost everyone seems to agree that 
simplifying SolrDispatchFilter is good. The only opposition ever cited was that 
perhaps we might someday abandon jetty altogether. I don't see anyone tackling 
that anytime soon, and honestly that effort will probably benefit from not 
having to pick apart a monster filter whenever it does show up since this 
direction would translate pretty nicely into a standard decorator pattern. We 
can call a halt and have another discussion if it seems desirable. 
   
   Also, I feel that the filter breakout is good even if we never do the rest 
of my vision (and that's why my tickets stop there, further changes beyond what 
I have ticketed are more drastic and certainly deserve discussion), and unless 
I make a mistake, it should be entirely user transparent (except opening up new 
possibilities for customization by power users). In our recent conversation you 
suggested that you were looking to move things to Servlet so I was motivated to 
do this task that I've been thinking about and fiddling with repeatedly to help 
minimize what you would have to deal with. You did start some conversation on 
this back in October of 2024, Only dissent was @hossman noting that things used 
to be that way before SOLR-104, but it sounds like jsp based UI was a key 
motivator at the time and that's long gone.
   
   I also think that if we ever do ditch Jetty, having separate servlets for 
update/query/admin (not part of the current tickets) would make it that much 
easier to assign those to other ports or protocols or whatever. Right now it's 
all coupled and firmly tied to http via HttpSolrCall
