Regression from:

The new parser needs to be able to deal with trailing
newline characters, which if present will be interpreted
as trailing spaces.
A new standalone static filtering parser is introduced,
vAPI.StaticFilteringParser. It's purpose is to parse
line of text into representation suitable for
compiling filters. It can additionally serves for
syntax highlighting purpose.
As a side effect, this solves:

This is a first draft, there are more work left to do
to further perfect the implementation and extend its
capabilities, especially those useful to assist filter
authors.
For the time being, this commits break line-continuation
syntax highlighting -- which was already flaky prior to
this commit anyway.

This commit adds support entity-matching in the filter
option `domain=`. Example:
pattern$domain=google.*
The `*` above is meant to match any suffix from the Public
Suffix List. The semantic is exactly the same as the
already existing entity-matching support in static
extended filtering:

Additionally, in this commit:
Fix cases where "just-origin" filters of the form `|http*://`
were erroneously normalized to `|http://`. The proper
normalization of `|http*://` is `*`.
Add support to store hostname strings into the character
buffer of a hntrie container. As of commit time, there are
5,544 instances of FilterOriginHit, and 732 instances of
FilterOriginMiss, which filters require storing/matching a
single hostname string. Those strings are now stored in the
character buffer of the already existing origin-related
hntrie container. (The same approach is used for plain
patterns which are not part of a bidi-trie.)
Pressing spacebar will toggle god mode in popup
panel.
This capability shouldn't encourage people to
misuse _allow_ rules as having to press the
space bar act as an extra necessary step which
purpose is to make the creation of _allow_ rules
more mindful.
There have been too many examples out there of users
opting-in to "I am an advanced user" and yet still misusing
dynamic filtering by creating _allow_ rules where _noop_
rules should be used.
Creating _allow_ rules has serious consequences as these
override blocking static filters and can potentially
disable other advanced filtering ability such as
HTML filtering and scriptlet injection -- often used
to deal with anti-blocker mechanisms.
The ability to point-and-click to create _allow_ rules
from the popup panel is no longer allowed by default.
An new advanced setting has been added to enable
the ability to create _allow_ rules from the popup
panel, `popupPanelGodMode`, which default to `false`.
Set to `true` to restore ability to set _allow_ rules
from popup panel.
Since the creation of _allow_ rules is especially useful
to filter list authors, to diagnose and narrow down site
breakage as a result of problematic blocking filter,
the creation of _allow_ rules will still be available
when the advanced setting `filterAuthorMode` is `true`.
This change is probably going to be problematic to all
those users who were misusing dynamic filtering by
creating _allow_ rules instead of _noop_ rules -- but
the breakage is going to bring their misusing to their
attention, a positive outcome.
Default to `unset`.
To allow users to bypass uBO's default CSS styles in
case they are causing issues to specific users. It is
the responsibility of the user to ensure the value of
`uiStyles` contains valid CSS property declarations.
uBO will assign the value to `document.body.style.cssText`.

For example, in the case of the issue above, one could
set `uiStyles` to `font-family: sans-serif` to force uBO
to the system font for its user interface.
