Add ability to suspend network request handler at will
This works only for platforms supporting the return of
Promise by network listeners, i.e. only Firefox at this
point.

When filter lists are reloaded[1], there is a small
time window in which some network requests which should
have normally been blocked are not being blocked
because the static network filtering engine may not
have yet loaded all the filters in memory

This is now addressed by suspending the network request
handler when filter lists are reloaded -- again, this
works only on supported platforms.

[1] Examples: when a filter list update session
    completes; when user filters change, when
    adding/removing filter lists.

Shield early request handler against re-entrance
Unlikely re-entrance is occurring, but there is no harm
shielding against it -- just in case.

Reuse both flavors of webRequest wrapper in webext package
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/407

Both flavors will be stitched together into a single
`vapi-qebrequest.js` file.

The decision of which flavor to use will be made at runtime,
according to the browser environment.
