This is a first step, the ultimate goal is to remove
the need for resources.txt, or at least to reduce to
only hotfixes or for trivial resources targeting very
specific websites.
Most resources will become immutable, i.e. they will
be part of uBO's code base. Advantages include easier
code maintenance (jshint, syntax highlight), and to
make scriptlets more easy to code review by external
parties (for example extension store reviewers).
TODO:
- More scriptlets need to be imported before next
release.
- Need to make legacy versions of uBO use a legacy
version of resources.txt, as all the now obsolete
scriptlets will have to be removed once uBO's
next release become widespread.
- Possibly need to add code to load binary
resources so that they can be injected as
data: URI. So far it's unclear whether this is
really needed. For example, this would be needed
if a xmlhttprequest is redirected to an image
resource.
This works only for platforms supporting the return of
Promise by network listeners, i.e. only Firefox at this
point.
When filter lists are reloaded[1], there is a small
time window in which some network requests which should
have normally been blocked are not being blocked
because the static network filtering engine may not
have yet loaded all the filters in memory
This is now addressed by suspending the network request
handler when filter lists are reloaded -- again, this
works only on supported platforms.
[1] Examples: when a filter list update session
completes; when user filters change, when
adding/removing filter lists.

Make the element picker better reflect network filters as
parsed by the static network filtering engine. Additionally,
discard single alphanumeric character-based filters.

Inject newly created cosmetic filters into the DOM
filterer, in order for these filters to be enforced by
the DOM filterer in subsequent dynamic DOM changes.

By default, no specific keyboard shortcut is predefined,
this will have to be assigned by the user. The command
name in English is "Toggle blocking profile".
The default behavior is to toggle down according to one
of the following scenarios.
a) If script execution is disabled through the no-scripting
switch, the no-scripting switch will be locally toggled
so as to allow script execution. The page will be
automatically reloaded.
b) If script execution is not blocked but the 3rd-party
script and/or frame cells are blocked, local no-op rules
will be set so as to no longer block 3rd-party scripts
and/or frames. The page will be automatically reloaded.
Given this, it may take more than one toggle down command
to reach the lowest blocking profile, which is one where
JavaScript execution is not blocked and 3rd-party scripts
and frames resources block rules, if any, are bypassed
with local no-op rules.
TODO: At this point, I haven't yet decided whether
toggling from the lowest profile should restore the
original highest blocking profile.

Fixed:
- Expect the differ can return the first input as is when
there is no difference between the two items.
- Better deal with extraneous whitespaces in `srcset`
The purpose is to avoid having to iterate through
all input nodes at each operator implementation
level. The `transpose` method deals with only one
input node, and the iteration is performed by the
main procedural filtering entry points.
Additionally:
- Add `:spath` to HTML filtering
- Rename `:watch-attrs` to `:watch-attr`
- `:watch=attrs` is deprecated and will be kept around
until it is safe to remove it completely
