Potentially breaking change:
`urlskip=` option will no longer apply by default to blocked network
requests, only network requests which are not blocked can be skipped
through a `urlskip=` filter.
The new `urlskip=` directive `-blocked` can be used to explicitly
allow a `urlskip=` filter to also apply to blocked network requests.
Example: given the filter `||example.com^`, the filter:
||example.com/path/to/tracker$urlskip=?url
Will not prevent strict-blocking when navigating to:
https://example.com/path/to/tracker?url=https://example.org/
However, the filter:
||example.com/path/to/tracker$urlskip=-blocked ?url
Will cause the strict-blocking to be ignored and allow navigation
to proceed to the URL extracted as a result of applying the `urlskip=`
filter:
https://example.org/

The first capture group of the regex will be used as the result of the
transformation. Example:
||podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/$urlskip=/podtrac\.com\/pts\/redirect\.mp3\/(.*?\.mp3\b)/ +https
If the regex is invalid, or if it fails to extract a first capture
group, no redirection will occur.
A single request can require multiple calls to the static network
filtering engine (SNFE). The reported timing is the result of
going through *all* the required calls to SNFE. In effect, a
single call to SNFE.match() is a fraction of the reported timing.
BroadcastChannel constructor throws in Firefox when Enhanced
Tracking Protection is set to "strict".
This behavior could cause scriptlet injection to wholly break
when uBO's logger was opened, as BroadcastChannel() is used
by scriptlets to report information to the logger.
This commit ensures that exceptions from BroadcastChannel
constructor are properly handled.
The scriptlets will fall back to report at the console should
they be unable to report to the logger through BroadcastChannel.
Ensure serialization returns copy of data rather than live
references to data. This allows to immediately deserialize() the
result of serialize().
Also, adjust code to modified behavior of filterQuery().

When the "No large media elements" per-site switch is toggled on,
it will also act to prevent autoplay of video/audio media, regardless
of their size. This also works for xhr-based media streaming.
If blocking by size is not desirable while blocking autoplay is
desired, one can toggle on "No large media elements" switch while
setting "Block media elements larger than ..." to a very high value.
Default to `true`.
Set to `false` to wholly disable calls to `dns.resolve()` (Firefox-
only). Disabling calls to `dns.resolve()` will prevent cname-uncloaking
and will limit ability to enforce `ipaddress` filter option.
