Can we make DisplaySome and DisplaySomeOr private and yield impl Display from the filter functions?

The `display_some` filter is essentially a shorthand for:

Nit: I think we don't need the "a" before "shorthand".


```text
{% if let Some(value) = value %}{{ value }}{% endif %}
```

It can be used like this:

```text
<title>{{ title|display_some }}</title>
```

Where `title` can be any `Option<T>` as long as `T` implements [`fmt::Display`].

### display_some_or

[#display_some_or]: #display_some_or

The `display_some_or` filter is similar to `display_some`, but allows providing
a default value to render for `None`. In short, instead of the following:

```text
{% if let Some(value) = value %}{{ value }}{% else %}My default title{% endif %}
```

Then `display_some_or` can be used like this:

```text
<title>{{ title|display_some_or("My default title") }}</title>
```

Where `title` can be any `Option<T>` as long as `T` implements [`fmt::Display`].
While the `default` value can be any `U` implementing [`fmt::Display`].
