This commit adds support entity-matching in the filter
option `domain=`. Example:
pattern$domain=google.*
The `*` above is meant to match any suffix from the Public
Suffix List. The semantic is exactly the same as the
already existing entity-matching support in static
extended filtering:

Additionally, in this commit:
Fix cases where "just-origin" filters of the form `|http*://`
were erroneously normalized to `|http://`. The proper
normalization of `|http*://` is `*`.
Add support to store hostname strings into the character
buffer of a hntrie container. As of commit time, there are
5,544 instances of FilterOriginHit, and 732 instances of
FilterOriginMiss, which filters require storing/matching a
single hostname string. Those strings are now stored in the
character buffer of the already existing origin-related
hntrie container. (The same approach is used for plain
patterns which are not part of a bidi-trie.)
Pressing spacebar will toggle god mode in popup
panel.
This capability shouldn't encourage people to
misuse _allow_ rules as having to press the
space bar act as an extra necessary step which
purpose is to make the creation of _allow_ rules
more mindful.
There have been too many examples out there of users
opting-in to "I am an advanced user" and yet still misusing
dynamic filtering by creating _allow_ rules where _noop_
rules should be used.
Creating _allow_ rules has serious consequences as these
override blocking static filters and can potentially
disable other advanced filtering ability such as
HTML filtering and scriptlet injection -- often used
to deal with anti-blocker mechanisms.
The ability to point-and-click to create _allow_ rules
from the popup panel is no longer allowed by default.
An new advanced setting has been added to enable
the ability to create _allow_ rules from the popup
panel, `popupPanelGodMode`, which default to `false`.
Set to `true` to restore ability to set _allow_ rules
from popup panel.
Since the creation of _allow_ rules is especially useful
to filter list authors, to diagnose and narrow down site
breakage as a result of problematic blocking filter,
the creation of _allow_ rules will still be available
when the advanced setting `filterAuthorMode` is `true`.
This change is probably going to be problematic to all
those users who were misusing dynamic filtering by
creating _allow_ rules instead of _noop_ rules -- but
the breakage is going to bring their misusing to their
attention, a positive outcome.
Default to `unset`.
To allow users to bypass uBO's default CSS styles in
case they are causing issues to specific users. It is
the responsibility of the user to ensure the value of
`uiStyles` contains valid CSS property declarations.
uBO will assign the value to `document.body.style.cssText`.

For example, in the case of the issue above, one could
set `uiStyles` to `font-family: sans-serif` to force uBO
to the system font for its user interface.
I can't remember the reason for the added thin gap,
there is no benefit from this for the desktop panel,
probably stray CSS code from some earlier fiddlings.
