Subject: [PATCH] [pp] allow inheriting settings from global 'postprocessor'
 entries

No idea how to properly explain/document this, so here's an example:

The extractor.postprocessors object
gets its options from postprocessor.jl
and adds 'filename' itself.

{
    "extractor": {
        "postprocessors": {
            "type": "jl",
            "filename": "meta.jsonl"
        }
    },

    "postprocessor": {
        "jl": {
            "name": "metadata",
            "mode": "jsonl",
            "open": "a"
        }
    }
}
