state.save()
Trigger a state save.
Description
This method is primarily made available for plug-in authors who wish to be able to add information to the DataTables state saving object (through stateSaveParams) and want to be able to trigger a state save to save information specific to their plug-in.
As an example, a column filter plug-in might trigger a state save when the input values for the filter are altered by the end user. This enables the author to reliably restore the state of their plug-in when the table is next initialised (state.loaded()).
