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.

To be consistent with no-setTimeout-if.js.
requestAnimationFrame-if.js is deprecated and must no longer be
used, it will be removed in the near future when it's no longer
in use in default filter lists.
no-requestAnimationFrame-if.js is aliased to norafif.js.

This commit focuses on implementing the use of
CSS `var(...)` throughout so as to make it easy
to create themes -- a requirement for uBO to
support a dark theme.
There is still work to do regarding converting
uBO's CSS to completely support `var(...)` but
being able to start using theming will help
complete and fine tune CSS `var(...)` support.

This commit fixes parts of the re-design not
rendering as intended as per <https://github.com/brampitoyo>'s
feedback screenshots.
The dashboard tab buttons have been converted to
`span` tags (from `a` tags), thus eliminating
the unwanted side effect of the text being
rendered as unvisited links (blueish).
The font size intended for touch screens was not
taking effect due to bad cut & paste.
Other minor adjustments to improve consistency
in spacing.
This commit add the ability to fetch from CDN servers
when an asset is fetched as a result of auto-update.
If an asset has a `cdnURLs` entry in `assets.json`,
the asset will be auto-updated using one of those
CDN URLs. When many CDN URLs are specified, those
URLs will be shuffled in order to spread the bandwidth
across all specified CDN servers. If all specified CDN
servers fail to respond, uBO will fall back to usual
`contentURLs` entry.
The `cdnURLs` are used only when an asset is
auto-updated, this ensures a user will get the more
recent available version of an asset when manually
updating.
The motivation of this new feature is to relieve
GitHub from acting as a CDN (which it is not) for
uBO -- an increasing concern with the growing adoption
of uBO along with the growing size of key uBO assets.
