The incomplete filtering status of a given tab at browser launch
will be carried over visually as a yellowish `!` badge until the
web page in the tab is force reloaded, navigated away, or closed.
The purpose is to make it obvious to end users that a web page
has not been filtered properly and to avoid issue reports
related to this.
It is expected that Firefox should never be affected by cases of
yellowish badge -- that is unless the setting "Suspend network
activity [...]" has been disabled, in which case the new behavior
will also be useful to those who disabled the setting.

Until uBO's filtering engines are properly initialized, there will
be a distinct toolbar icon to help users understand that uBO may
not be fully initialized when a webpage is loaded -- often the
cause of improper filtering of trackers/ads at browser launch.
This commit is a rewrite of the static filtering parser into a
tree-based data structure, for easier maintenance and better
abstraction of parsed filters.
This simplifies greatly syntax coloring of filters and also
simplify extending filter syntax.
The minimum version of Chromium-based browsers has been raised
to version 73 because of usage of String.matchAll().

The "exceptor" feature has been rewritten, with the following
changes as a result:
- The excepted filters cease to exist when closing the logger
- It's now possible to temporary except network filters
When toggling on/off a temporary exception, filter lists are now
fully reloaded. This simplified managing temporary exceptions, and
made it easy to implement temporary exception for network filters,
but this also means there might be a perceptible delay when
adding/removing temporary exceptions. At this point I consider
this an acceptable side-effect just to bring the ability to easily
create temporary exception for network filters, while this
simplified the existing temporary exception code throughout.
Bring latest changes to procedural cosmetic filtering to uBOL.
Fix procedural filtering used in HTML filters.
Standardize quick hash algorithm used throughout to DJB2

The previous behavior can be restored by toggling the advanced
setting `cnameIgnoreRootDocument` to `false`.
