:filter-final-output functions could be used, but the name is a bit
misleading. Therefore I'd suggest to extend the
org-export-filters-alist with :export-final-output which only gets
called if non-nil. Otherwise org-export-as will return a single string
as before, so we don't break anything.

In the multipage case we still need a hook to split the parse tree
before transcoding. The place for this should probably be in
org-export--annotate-info. I don't see any mechanism/alist function to
use so I would suggest to add an option :multipage-process-hook to
org-export-filters-alist.

In addition the backend will set a :multipage option at the beginning
of the export, when exporting to multipage.

I will go ahead and implement a proposal. Let me know if something
sounds bad/unreasonable.
