Built-in whitelist directives are now rendered differently
than user-defined whitelist directives. Also, removing a
built-in whitelist directive will only cause that directive
to be commented out, so that users do not have to remember
built-in directives should they want to bring them back.

The built-in per-site switch rule
`no-scripting: behind-the-scene false` has been removed,
it should not ever be needed since there will always be a
valid root context for main- and sub-frames.

The issue fixes previewing the hiding/unhiding of targeted
elements in the element picker.
However it does not address the case of previewing
`:style(...)` operators -- this would require a much
more complex fix, which I am not sure is worth the
amount of work and increased code complexity.

Additionally, the extended exception filters in the
logger will be rendered with a line-through to more
easily distinguish them from non-exception ones.
Also, opportunistically converted revisited code to
ES6 syntax.
This was a TODO item:
- 07cbae66a4/src/js/cosmetic-filtering.js (L375)
µBlock.staticExtFilteringEngine.HostnameBasedDB has been
re-factored to accomodate the storing of specific cosmetic
filters.
As a result of this refactoring:
- Memory usage has been further decreased
- Performance of selector retrieval marginally
improved
- New internal representation opens the door
to use a specialized version of HNTrie, which
should further improve performance/memory
usage

Wildcards are now allowed in the hostname part of redirect
filters. There will be an attempt to find the longest
right-hand portion of the hostname with no wildcard. If
no non-empty hostname can be extracted, `*` will be used.
To be used at the console, as an investigation tool for
development purpose.
Using it to verify the content of the largest
FilterHostnameDict instance, I spotted an all-uppercase
hostname in the HNTrieRef instance:
µBlock.staticNetFilteringEngine.categories.get(0).get(0x10000000).dict.dump();
Thus the changes to static-net-filtering.js are to fix
the erroneous insertion of filters with uppercase
characters. The single instance found was a hostname entry
in Malware Domain List (TRIANGLESERVICESLTD dot COM).
