Prior to this commit, the ability to enable/disable the
uncloaking of canonical names was only available to advanced
users. This commit make it so that the setting can be
toggled from the _Settings_ pane.
The setting is enabled by default. The documentation should
be clear that the setting should not be disabled unless it
actually solves serious network issues, for example:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1694404
Also, as a result, the advanced setting `cnameUncloak` is no
longer available from within the advanced settings editor.

Exception filters for `document` option are complying with
uBO's own semantic for `document` option, i.e. an exception
filter for `document` option will only allow to bypass a
block filter for `document` (either explicit or implicit)
and nothing else.
Exception filters using `document` option are *not*
compatible with ABP's interpretation of these filters.
Whereas in ABP the purpose of a `document` exception filter
is to wholly disable content blocking, in uBO the same
filter will just cause strict-blocking to be disabled while
leaving content blocking intact.
Additionally, the logger was fixed to properly report pages
which are being strict-blocked.
As per internal feedback.
The `length` property exists if the `adsbygoogle` object
is instantiated before the `adsbygoogle.js` script has
been loaded, but is no longer present once the
`adsbygoogle.js` script has been loaded.
The procedural cosmetic filtering code has been split from
the content script code injected unconditionally and will
from now on be injected only when it is needed, i.e. when
there are procedural cosmetic filters to enforce.
The motivation for this is:

Though uBO's content script injected unconditionally in all
pages/frames is relatively small, I still wanted to further
reduce the amount of content script code injected
unconditionally: The procedural cosmetic filtering code
represents roughly 14KB of code the browser won't have to
parse/execute unconditionally unless there exists procedural
cosmetic filters to enforce for a page or frame.
At the time the above article was published, the total
size of unconditional content scripts injected by uBO was
~101 KB, while after this commit, the total size will be
~57 KB (keeping in mind uBO does not minify and does not
remove comments from its JavaScript code).
Additionally, some refactoring on how user stylesheets are
injected so as to ensure that `:style`-based procedural
filters which are essentially declarative are injected
earlier along with plain, non-procedural cosmetic filters.

Additionally, a small (experimental) widget has been added
to emphasize/de-emphasize rows which have 3rd-party
scripts/frames, so as to more easily identify which rows
are "affected" by 3rd-party scripts and/or frames.
Tooltip localization for the new widget is not available
yet as I want wait for the feature to be fully settled.
As discussed internally with list maintainers:
- EasyList China doesn't leverage uBO's extended
filter syntax
- EasyList China's home page is no longer available
to the public
Additionally, "CJX's EasyList Lite" has been removed
from stock lists, as the list hosted on GitHub is no
longer updated, and "AdGuard Chinese" is the official
list to enable to address all filter issues for
Chinese sites.
