Remove obsolete code to import content of localStorage
Months ago, usage of synchronous localStorage was replaced
with asynchronous extension storage. There was code for the
conversion to be seamless by importing the content of now
obsolete localStorage.

This code is no longer needed as majority of users are
assumed to use versions of uBO above 1.25.0.

Revisit the behavior of the click-to-subscribe content script
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/763

Changes:

From now on, uBO will allow click-to-subscribe on only
a few select domains, currently:
- https://filterlists.com/
- https://github.com/
- https://github.io/

More domains can be added if and only the demonstration
is made that more than a marginal number of filter lists
can be subscribed from those domains.

The browser alert box is no longer used to confirm
subscription to a filter list. Instead, the asset
viewer has been expanded to serve that purpose. This
way, users can peruse at the content of a filter list
before subscribing to it.

Isolate element picker's svg layers from page content
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1226

Related commit:
- 9eb455ab5e

In the previous commit, the element picker dialog was
isolated from the page content. This commit is to also
isolate the svg layers from the page content.

With this commit, there is no longer a need for an anonymous
iframe and the isolated world iframe is now directly
embedded in the page.

As a result, pages are now unable to interfere with any
of the element picker user interface. Pages can now only
see an iframe, but are unable to see the content of that
iframe. The styles applied to the iframe are from a user
stylesheet, so as to ensure pages can't override the
iframe's style properties set by uBO.

Fix ability to overwrite overquota'ed cloud storage

Add support for cloud storage compression
Cloud storage is a limited resource, and thus it
makes sense to support data compression before
sending the data to cloud storage.

A new hidden setting allows to toggle on
cloud storage compression:

name: cloudStorageCompression
default: false

By default, this hidden setting is `false`, and a
user must set it to `true` to enable compression
of cloud storage items.

This hidden setting will eventually be toggled
to `true` by default, when there is good confidence
a majority of users are using a version of uBO
which can properly handle compressed cloud storage
items.

A cursory assessment shows that compressed items
are roughly 40-50% smaller in size.

Deprecate pseudo user styles code
The pseudo user styles code served only browsers based
on Chromium 65 and earlier -- Chromium 66 supports
native user styles and was first released more than two
years ago.

In Chromium-based browsers, the pseudo user styles code
is being unconditionally injected in every page/frame
just in case the browser is version 65 or earlier.

Removing pseudo user styles reduce uBO's main content
script in Chromium-based browsers by more than 20K.

Make the new "fenix" popup panel the default one
The old "classic" popup panel will still be used
when at least one of the following is true:

- advanced setting `uiFlavor` is set to `classic`; or
- the browser is Chromium 65 or older; or
- the browser is Firefox 67 or older

The default configuration of the new popup panel
at installation time is to show the power button,
statistics and the basic tool icons, i.e. access
to dashboard, logger, pickers.

For existing installations, the new popup panel
will be configured by respecting the existing
configuration of the classic one.

The new popup panel is currently already in use
on Firefox for Android, and the visual redesign
was made according to suggestions and feedback
from <https://github.com/brampitoyo> to be
optimal for Firefox for Android.

The new popup panel will allow closing the following

Centralize access to browser.storage.local('localStorage')
Related commit:
- 2ac288397c

Instead of having the `localStorage` data being accessed
from different locations, all accesses are now funnelled
to the main process.

Doing so simplifies the code in auxiliary processes and
also remove the need for browser.storage.local.onChanged()
listeners.

No longer using an onChanged() listener also happens to
remove spurious warnings from the Firefox console.

Do not cname-uncloak when a proxy is in use
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/911

Since cname-uncloaking is available only on Firefox
at the moment, the fix is relevant only to Firefox.

By default uBO will no longer cname-uncloak when it
detects that network requests are being being proxied.

This default behavior can be overriden by setting the
new advanced setting `cnameUncloakProxied` to `true`.
The new setting default to `false`, i.e. cname-uncloaking
is disabled when uBO detects that a proxy is in use.

This new advanced setting may disappear once the
following Firefox issue is fixed:

Add procedural cosmetic operators remove() and upward()
***

New procedural cosmetic operator: `:remove()`

Related issue:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/2252

The purpose is to outright remove elements from the
DOM tree. Since `:remove()` is an "action" operator,
it must only be used as a trailing operator (just
like the `:style()` operator).

AdGuard's cosmetic filter syntax `{ remove: true; }`
will be converted to uBO's `:remove()` operator
internally.

***

New procedural cosmetic operator: `:upward(...)`

The purpose is to lookup an ancestor element.

When used with an integer argument, it is synonym of
`:nth-ancestor()`, which will be deprecated and which
will no longer be supported once no longer used in
mainstream filter lists.

Filter lists maintainers must only use `:upward(int)`
instead of `:nth-ancestor(int)` once the new operator
become available in all stable releases of uBO.

`:upward()` can also accept a CSS selector as argument,
in which case the nearest ancestor which matches the
CSS selector will be selected.

Use `disable_non_proxied_udp` for `webRTCIPHandlingPolicy`

address leakage through WebRTC.

This mode is properly supported since Firefox 70, so the
less strict `default_public_interface_only` will now be
used only for Firefox 69 and older.

Remove usage of synchronous localStorage API
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/899

browser.storage.local is now used to store non-critical
local settings.

These settings are all collated under the key
`localStorage`, and vAPI.localStorage is an API to
handle access to these values stored under this key.

vAPI.localStorage.getItem() is still synchronous but
its purpose is to return internally cached values --
this minimizes code changes throughout uBO.

Enable CNAME uncloaking by default
Advanced setting `cnameAliasList` has been removed.

New advanced settings:

cnameUncloak:
  Boolean
Default value:
  true
Description:
  Whether to CNAME-uncloak hostnames.

cnameIgnoreExceptions:
  Boolean
Default value:
  true
Description:
  Whether to bypass the uncloaking of network requests
  which were excepted by filters/rules. This is
  necessary so as to avoid undue breakage by having
  exception filters being rendered useless as a result
  of CNAME-uncloaking.
  For example, `google-analytics.com` uncloaks to
  `www-google-analytics.l.google.com` and both hostnames
  appear in Peter Lowe's list, which means exception
  filters for `google-analytics.com` (to fix site
  breakage) would be rendered useless as the uncloaking
  would cause the network request to be ultimately
  blocked.

Fine tune hostname uncloaking through CNAME-lookup
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/780

Related commit:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/3a564c199260

This adds two new advanced settings:

- cnameIgnoreRootDocument
  - Default to `true`
  - Tells uBO to skip CNAME-lookup for root document.

- cnameReplayFullURL
  - Default to `false`
  - Tells uBO whether to replay the whole URL or just
    the origin part of it.
    Replaying only the origin part is meant to lower
    undue breakage and improve performance by avoiding
    repeating the pattern-matching of the whole URL --
    which pattern-matching was most likely already
    accomplished with the original request.

This commit is meant to explore enabling CNAME-lookup
by default for the next stable release while:

- Eliminating a development burden by removing the
  need to create a new filtering syntax to deal with
  undesirable CNAME-cloaked hostnames

- Eliminating a filter list maintainer burden by
  removing the need to find/deal with all base
  domains which engage in undesirable CNAME-cloaked
  hostnames

The hope is that the approach implemented in this
commit should require at most a few unbreak rules
with no further need for special filtering syntax
or filter list maintance efforts.

Add ability to uncloak CNAME records
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/780

New webext permission added: `dns`, which purpose is
to allow an extension to fetch the DNS record of
specific hostnames, reference documentation:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/dns

The webext API `dns` is available in Firefox 60+ only.

The new API will enable uBO to "uncloak" the actual
hostname used in network requests. The ability is
currently disabled by default for now -- this is only
a first commit related to the above issue to allow
advanced users to immediately use the new ability.

Four advanced settings have been created to control the
uncloaking of actual hostnames:

cnameAliasList: a space-separated list of hostnames.
Default value: unset => empty list.
Special value: * => all hostnames.
A space-separated list of hostnames => this tells uBO
to "uncloak" the  hostnames in the list will.

cnameIgnoreList: a space-separated list of hostnames.
Default value: unset => empty list.
Special value: * => all hostnames.
A space-separated list of hostnames => this tells uBO
to NOT re-run the network request through uBO's
filtering engine with the CNAME hostname. This is
useful to exclude commonly used actual hostnames
from being re-run through uBO's filtering engine, so
as to avoid pointless overhead.

cnameIgnore1stParty: boolean.
Default value: true.
Whether uBO should ignore to re-run a network request
through the filtering engine when the CNAME hostname
is 1st-party to the alias hostname.

cnameMaxTTL: number of minutes.
Default value: 120.
This tells uBO to clear its CNAME cache after the
specified time. For efficiency purpose, uBO will
cache alias=>CNAME associations for reuse so as
to reduce calls to `browser.dns.resolve`. All the
associations will be cleared after the specified time
to ensure the map does not grow too large and too
ensure uBO uses up to date CNAME information.
