This is to fix the rendering of the menu entry in
Firefox Fenix, which displays both the icon title
and badge text as a menu entry:
Before the fix:
uBlock Origin (76) 76
After the fix:
uBlock Origin 76
The badge text will still be part of the icon title
when the icon badge is disabled by the user or when
the platform does not supprt browserAction.setIcon()
(as is the case on current Firefox for Android).
This commit make it so that if an *unexpected* error is
thrown when trying to load the selfie at launch, the filter
lists will still be loaded as a result.
There is no point for such list since it's not possible
to get breakage measurements from using such list and
thus impossible to evaluate.
At the same time, "uBlock filters --- Annoyances" has
been moved to the "Annoyances" section.
Tokens which are as long or longer than the max token
length possible do not need to have the prefix part
evaluated against special regex characters. This will
help increase the likelihood of extracting a valid
token from regex-based filters.
Actual case found in EasyPrivacy:
/^https?:\/\/eulerian..*\/[a-z0-9]{2,12}\.js/$script
Before this commit, uBO was not able to extract a
valid token, while now uBO is able to extract `eulerian`
as a valid token (consequently the regex-based filter
will now be evaluated only when the token `euleria` is
found in a URL).
This is related to the list of domains/subdomains in
the dynamic filtering pane of the popup panel.

Clicking on the empty space of a row will toggle
the visibility of the subdomains.
Additionally, the root context will always be visible
regardless of the expand/collspase state, along with
a visual indicator that a specific domain or subdomain
is the actual root context. (the root context is the
hostname in which local rules are created).

uBO was testing for regex-like plain patterns after
prepending `@@` in the case of exception filters, thus
preventing proper detection of regex-like plain
patterns. The filtering engine was not affected, only
the proper rendering of the filter in the logger was
affected.
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.

The change in this commit make it so that it's no
longer required to have an exception filter for
`google-analytics.com/analytics.js` for the page to
render properly.
