Option to avoid adding core filters?

Hi, I’m now using the ACF plugin and enabled its shortcodes feature.

However, as the ACF shortcode require the global post context to determine which post to read custom fields from, using a simple do_shortcode won’t work properly.
```
add_filter( 'the_title', 'do_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'single_post_title', 'do_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'wp_title', 'do_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode' );
```
As a workaround, we can either:
- Remove the filters added by DMYIP and implement a new one
- Load / restore global post context before / after DMYIP filters
- Add / remove acf/pre_load_post_id filter before / after DMYIP filters
I think it could be more flexible if we can have an option / filter to avoid adding the core filters.

Another option is to compat with ACF shortcodes. Then we may need something like this:
```
add_filter( 'the_title', function($title, $post_id) {
  $filter = fn($null, $shortcode_post_id) => $shortcode_post_id ?: $post_id;
  add_filter('acf/pre_load_post_id', $filter, 10, 2);
  try {
    return do_shortcode($title);
  } finally {
    remove_filter('acf/pre_load_post_id', $filter, 10);
  }
}, 10, 2 );
```

I will add a filter to avoid adding do_shortcode to the native WP elements. It’s not just about ACF – maybe the user doesn’t want it at all.

I just don’t want to add a settings page, otherwise the plugin could have been very customizable.

Added in 1.7.1:

Disable all core filters (shortcodes will work but will only work in post content and blocks):
```
add_filter( 'dmyip_core_filters', '__return_empty_array' );
```
Disable specific filters — e.g., stop do_shortcode on the_title (fixes ACF field name conflicts):
```
add_filter( 'dmyip_core_filters', function ( $filters ) {
    $filters['the_title'] = false;
    return $filters;
} );
```
Disable multiple filters at once:
```
add_filter( 'dmyip_core_filters', function ( $filters ) {
    $filters['the_title']         = false;
    $filters['single_post_title'] = false;
    $filters['wp_title']          = false;
    return $filters;
} );
```
Only keep excerpt processing (disable everything else):
```
add_filter( 'dmyip_core_filters', function () {
    return array(
        'the_title'             => false,
        'single_post_title'     => false,
        'wp_title'              => false,
        'the_excerpt'           => true,
        'get_the_excerpt'       => true,
        'get_the_archive_title' => false,
    );
} );
```
