Until uBO's filtering engines are properly initialized, there will
be a distinct toolbar icon to help users understand that uBO may
not be fully initialized when a webpage is loaded -- often the
cause of improper filtering of trackers/ads at browser launch.
This commit is a rewrite of the static filtering parser into a
tree-based data structure, for easier maintenance and better
abstraction of parsed filters.
This simplifies greatly syntax coloring of filters and also
simplify extending filter syntax.
The minimum version of Chromium-based browsers has been raised
to version 73 because of usage of String.matchAll().

The "exceptor" feature has been rewritten, with the following
changes as a result:
- The excepted filters cease to exist when closing the logger
- It's now possible to temporary except network filters
When toggling on/off a temporary exception, filter lists are now
fully reloaded. This simplified managing temporary exceptions, and
made it easy to implement temporary exception for network filters,
but this also means there might be a perceptible delay when
adding/removing temporary exceptions. At this point I consider
this an acceptable side-effect just to bring the ability to easily
create temporary exception for network filters, while this
simplified the existing temporary exception code throughout.
Bring latest changes to procedural cosmetic filtering to uBOL.
Fix procedural filtering used in HTML filters.
Standardize quick hash algorithm used throughout to DJB2
(except that initialization step is skipped):

The previous behavior can be restored by toggling the advanced
setting `cnameIgnoreRootDocument` to `false`.
`uDom` is old and crusty and `dom` is meant as replacement. The
goal of `dom` is to be simpler and mainly just convenience
methods for handling the DOM with vanilla JS -- this is not a
framework.
Additionally, removed keyboard shortcuts pane which was useful
only on very old versions of Firefox.
Spurious updates to registered content scripts would occur when
using some regional lists, for example DEU would cause spurious
updates to registered script `css-procedural`.
Network filters with csp= option will now be enforced.
Caveat: DNR API does not have support for exception csp= rules,
so excepted csp= filters are currently rejected at conversion time.
