Refactor management of injectable resources
This is a first step, the ultimate goal is to remove
the need for resources.txt, or at least to reduce to
only hotfixes or for trivial resources targeting very
specific websites.

Most resources will become immutable, i.e. they will
be part of uBO's code base. Advantages include easier
code maintenance (jshint, syntax highlight), and to
make scriptlets more easy to code review by external
parties (for example extension store reviewers).

TODO:

- More scriptlets need to be imported before next
  release.
- Need to make legacy versions of uBO use a legacy
  version of resources.txt, as all the now obsolete
  scriptlets will have to be removed once uBO's
  next release become widespread.
- Possibly need to add code to load binary
  resources so that they can be injected as
  data: URI. So far it's unclear whether this is
  really needed. For example, this would be needed
  if a xmlhttprequest is redirected to an image
  resource.

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.

Experimental Thunderbird 65+ support: experimental
Related issues:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/194

This is a first iteration, which purpose is to merely allow
uBO to load properly. Many things are known to not work,
quite probably due to the early Thunderbird support of the
WebExtensions framework.

Permission which had to be removed:
- contextMenus

Manifest entries which had to be removed:
- commands
- sidebar_action

uBO's webRequest listeners are not being called when loading a
feed item in the preview pane, *except* for resources fetched
from embedded iframes.

uBO appears to function properly when a feed item is opened in
its own tab.
