Lua filters: make attr argument optional in Table constructor

This changes the Lua API. It is highly unlikely for this change to
affect existing filters, since the documentation for the new Table
constructor (and type) was incomplete and partly wrong before.

The Lua API is now more consistent, as all constructors for elements
with attributes now take attributes as the last parameter.
