[mv3] Add scriptlet support; improve reliability of cosmetic filtering
First iteration of adding scriptlet support. As with cosmetic
filtering, scriptlet niijection occurs only on sites for which
uBO Lite was granted extended permissions.

At the moment, only three scriptlets are supported:
- abort-current-script
- json-prune
- set-constant

More will be added in the future.

[mv3] Add support for specific cosmetic filtering
Specific plain CSS cosmetic filters are now supported.

Cosmetic filtering will occur only after the user explicitly
grant uBO extended permissions for a given site, so that it
can inject CSS on the site.

A new button in the popup panel allows a user to grant/revoke
extended permissions to/from uBO Lite for the current site.

More capabilities will be carefully added for when extended
permissions are granted on a site, so specific cosmetic
filtering through plain CSS is the first implemented capability.

Generic and procedural cosmetic filtering is not implemented.

The current implementation for plain CSS cosmetic filters is
through declarative content injection, which does not require
the service worker to be alive, the browser takes care to
inject the cosmetic filters.

However declarative CSS injection does not support user
styles, so the injected cosmetic filters are "weak". I consider
this is a browser issue, since user styles are supported by
Chromium, there is just no way in the API to specify user
styles for the injected content.

Also:
- Fixed dark theme issues
- Added Steven Black's hosts file

Keep in mind all this is very experimental and implementation
details in this release may (will) greatly change in the future.

Add experimental mv3 version
This create a separate Chromium extension, named
"uBO Minus (MV3)".

This experimental mv3 version supports only the blocking of
network requests through the declarativeNetRequest API, so as
to abide by the stated MV3 philosophy of not requiring broad
"read/modify data" permission. Accordingly, the extension
should not trigger the warning at installation time:

    Read and change all your data on all websites

The consequences of being permission-less are the following:

- No cosmetic filtering (##)
- No scriptlet injection (##+js)
- No redirect= filters
- No csp= filters
- No removeparam= filters

At this point there is no popup panel or options pages.

The default filterset correspond to the default filterset of
uBO proper:

Listset for 'default':
  https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/badware.txt
  https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/filters.txt
  https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/filters-2020.txt

  https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&showintro=1&mimetype=plaintext

The result of the conversion of the filters in all these
filter lists is as follow:

Ruleset size for 'default': 22245
  Good: 21408
  Maybe good (regexes): 127
  redirect-rule= (discarded): 458
  csp= (discarded): 85
  removeparams= (discarded): 22
  Unsupported: 145

The fact that the number of DNR rules are far lower than the
number of network filters reported in uBO comes from the fact
that lists-to-rulesets converter does its best to coallesce
filters into minimal set of rules. Notably, the DNR's
requestDomains condition property allows to create a single
DNR rule out of all pure hostname-based filters.

Regex-based rules are dynamically added at launch time since
they must be validated as valid DNR regexes through
isRegexSupported() API call.

At this point I consider being permission-less the limiting
factor: if broad "read/modify data" permission is to be used,
than there is not much point for an MV3 version over MV2, just
use the MV2 version if you want to benefit all the features
which can't be implemented without broad "read/modify data"
permission.

To locally build the MV3 extension:

    make mv3

Then load the resulting extension directory in the browser
using the "Load unpacked" button.

From now on there will be a uBlock0.mv3.zip package available
in each release.
