Use blob-based injection only when direct injection fails because
of a page's CSP. This is a mitigation until a better approach is
devised.
Such future better approach to investigate:
- Use `MAIN` world injection supported by contentScript.register()
since Firefox 128
- Investigate registering script to inject ahead of time thru
some heuristic

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.
This commit makes the DNS resolution code better suited for both
filtering on cname and ip address. The change allows early availability
of ip address so that `ipaddress=` option can be matched at
onBeforeRequest time.
As a result, it is now possible to block root document using
`ipaddress=` option -- so long as an ip address can be extracted
before first onBeforeRequest() call.

Caveat
------
the ip address used is the first one among the list of ip
addresses returned by dns.resolve() method. There is no way for uBO
to know which exact ip address will be used by the browser when
sending the request, so this is at most a best guess. The exact IP
address used by the browser is available at onHeadersReceived time,
and uBO will also filter according to this value, but by then the
network request has already been sent to the remote server.
Possibly a future improvement would make available the whole list
of ip addresses to the filtering engine, but even then it's impossible
to know with certainty which ip address will ultimately be used by the
browser -- it is entirely possible that the ip address used by the
browser might not be in the list received through dns.resolve().
This reflects the _world_ of the MV3 scripting API:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/scripting/ExecutionWorld
MAIN: page's world
ISOLATED: extension's content script world
Some scriptlets are best executed in either world, so this
commit allows to pick in which world a scriptlet should execute
(default to MAIN).
For instance, the new sed.js scriptlet will now execute in
the ISOLATED world.
Same-origin as per URL address of the main document. Currently the
fix only affect top-level pages.

The previous behavior can be restored by toggling the advanced
setting `cnameIgnoreRootDocument` to `false`.

The new setting, when disabled (enabled by default), allows a user
to prevent uBO from waiting for all filter lists to be loaded
before allowing network activity at launch. The setting is enabled
by default, meaning uBO waits for all filter lists to be loaded in
memory before unsuspending network activity. Some users may find
this behavior undesirable, hence the new setting.
This gives the option to potentially speed up page load at launch,
at the cost of potentially not properly filtering network requests
as per filter lists/rules.
For platforms not supporting the suspension of network activity,
the setting will merely prevent whatever mechanism exists on the
platform to mitigate improper filtering of network requests at
launch. For example, in Chromium-based browsers, unchecking the
new setting will prevent the browser from re-loading tabs for
which there was network activity while in "suspended" state at
launch.

The changes are enough to fulfill the related issue.
A new platform has been added in order to allow for building
a NodeJS package. From the root of the project:
./tools/make-nodejs
This will create new uBlock0.nodejs directory in the
./dist/build directory, which is a valid NodeJS package.
From the root of the package, you can try:
node test
This will instantiate a static network filtering engine,
populated by easylist and easyprivacy, which can be used
to match network requests by filling the appropriate
filtering context object.
The test.js file contains code which is typical example
of usage of the package.
Limitations: the NodeJS package can't execute the WASM
versions of the code since the WASM module requires the
use of fetch(), which is not available in NodeJS.
This is a first pass at modularizing the codebase, and
while at it a number of opportunistic small rewrites
have also been made.
This commit requires the minimum supported version for
Chromium and Firefox be raised to 61 and 60 respectively.
Though Firefox shares a lot of WebExtensions code with Chromium,
these platforms have their own specific code paths, for various
reasons.
The reorganization here makes it clear that Chromium platform is
just one flavor of WebExtensions, and as such all Chromium-specific
code paths should no longer be automatically pulled by other
platforms where these code paths are not needed.
