MDL-82427 moved the filter.php files of the filter plugins to the classes folder and renamed them text_filter.php, essentially deleting them. This can lead to fatal errors when they are required/included elsewhere.
Although filter.php files are plugin-specific and should not normally be required by plugins (unless the plugins somehow declare dependency on specific filter plugins), as doing so would break component communication principles, we should consider creating the filter.php files back to prevent errors due to such cases.
