Regression from converting uBO resources into
immutable resources. This affects only Chromium-based
browsers.
This is a quick fix for the dev build, to at least unbreak
the reported case.
I need to research whether the root issue (conflict with HTTPS-E)
is still occurring, and if so the fix is not trivial: I will need
to add code to uBO to fetch and convert binary data into `data:`
URIs.

By expressly restricting JavaScript execution to only code
from the extension package, this explicitly tells code reviewer
that uBO can't execute remote code.
I also had to add `object-src 'self'`, otherwise Chromium
refused to load the extension with the following error message:
> 'content_security_policy': CSP directive 'object-src' must be specified
`object-src 'self'` is the default value.
Theoretically, if a selfie is loaded from corrupted
storage resulting in a thrown exception from the
constructor, this would cause an improperly initialized
HostnameBasedDB instance and overall potentially a
broken uBO.

Since https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/156
won't be fixed in next release, no need to ship
with code which will be unused, and anyways only once
the fix is worked on will it be clear exactly what needs
to be used by scriptlets to deal harmoniously with
property listener collisions.
Make sure the parser is safely compatible with old
resources format -- for those users still using
custom resources (via `userResourcesLocation`).
Prepare code for future fix to
<https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/156>:
This commit introduces a new private Map() object,
`uBOSafe`, accessible by all injected scriptlets. This
private safe can be used to store data which can be shared
with different scriptlets. The idea is for scriptlets to
use that safe to graciously deal with the need to install
multiple listeners for the same property.
Since resources are now immutable, by default they are
only compiled once each time uBO updates to a new
version. However I need a way to force a re-compiling
of the resource in the dev build. This commit adds code
to invalidate the resources selfie when forcing the
update of any filter list.
