New procedural cosmetic operator: `:remove()`
Related issue:

The purpose is to outright remove elements from the
DOM tree. Since `:remove()` is an "action" operator,
it must only be used as a trailing operator (just
like the `:style()` operator).
AdGuard's cosmetic filter syntax `{ remove: true; }`
will be converted to uBO's `:remove()` operator
internally.

New procedural cosmetic operator: `:upward(...)`
The purpose is to lookup an ancestor element.
When used with an integer argument, it is synonym of
`:nth-ancestor()`, which will be deprecated and which
will no longer be supported once no longer used in
mainstream filter lists.
Filter lists maintainers must only use `:upward(int)`
instead of `:nth-ancestor(int)` once the new operator
become available in all stable releases of uBO.
`:upward()` can also accept a CSS selector as argument,
in which case the nearest ancestor which matches the
CSS selector will be selected.
