]firefox] Improve load time & behavior from suspended state
Related issue:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2969

Changes:

Use browser.alarms to trigger selfie creation. Presence of a selfie
improve markedly time to readiness when uBO is unsuspended.

Mirror content of storage.local to (in-memory) storage.session for
faster load to readiness when uBO is ususpended.

Support injecting scriptlet in MAIN or ISOLATED world
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.

Raise minimum versions of browsers
For the following reasons:

- Support for CSS `gap`, so as to remove the need to
  fall back onto classic popup panel, and thus making
  it possible to fully remove long-ago deprecated
  classic panel (announced in 1.27.0)[1]:
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/gap

- Support for dynamic import:
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import

Firefox's minimum version is raised to 68 because it's
the oldest ESR version supporting the features above.
From now on, minimum version of Firefox will always be
an ESR one.

Add setting to control suspension on network activity at launch
Related discussion:
- a0a9497b4a (commitcomment-62560291)

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.

Modularize codebase with export/import
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1664

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.

Reorganize platform directory to avoid Chromium-centric appearance
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.

Given that the filepath of many files changed, here is the

Expose ability to toggle on/off cname-uncloaking to all users
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1513

Prior to this commit, the ability to enable/disable the
uncloaking of canonical names was only available to advanced
users. This commit make it so that the setting can be
toggled from the _Settings_ pane.

The setting is enabled by default. The documentation should
be clear that the setting should not be disabled unless it
actually solves serious network issues, for example:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1694404

Also, as a result, the advanced setting `cnameUncloak` is no
longer available from within the advanced settings editor.

Revisit the behavior of the click-to-subscribe content script
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/763

Changes:

From now on, uBO will allow click-to-subscribe on only
a few select domains, currently:
- https://filterlists.com/
- https://github.com/
- https://github.io/

More domains can be added if and only the demonstration
is made that more than a marginal number of filter lists
can be subscribed from those domains.

The browser alert box is no longer used to confirm
subscription to a filter list. Instead, the asset
viewer has been expanded to serve that purpose. This
way, users can peruse at the content of a filter list
before subscribing to it.

Deprecate pseudo user styles code
The pseudo user styles code served only browsers based
on Chromium 65 and earlier -- Chromium 66 supports
native user styles and was first released more than two
years ago.

In Chromium-based browsers, the pseudo user styles code
is being unconditionally injected in every page/frame
just in case the browser is version 65 or earlier.

Removing pseudo user styles reduce uBO's main content
script in Chromium-based browsers by more than 20K.

Make the new "fenix" popup panel the default one
The old "classic" popup panel will still be used
when at least one of the following is true:

- advanced setting `uiFlavor` is set to `classic`; or
- the browser is Chromium 65 or older; or
- the browser is Firefox 67 or older

The default configuration of the new popup panel
at installation time is to show the power button,
statistics and the basic tool icons, i.e. access
to dashboard, logger, pickers.

For existing installations, the new popup panel
will be configured by respecting the existing
configuration of the classic one.

The new popup panel is currently already in use
on Firefox for Android, and the visual redesign
was made according to suggestions and feedback
from <https://github.com/brampitoyo> to be
optimal for Firefox for Android.

The new popup panel will allow closing the following

Do not cname-uncloak when a proxy is in use
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/911

Since cname-uncloaking is available only on Firefox
at the moment, the fix is relevant only to Firefox.

By default uBO will no longer cname-uncloak when it
detects that network requests are being being proxied.

This default behavior can be overriden by setting the
new advanced setting `cnameUncloakProxied` to `true`.
The new setting default to `false`, i.e. cname-uncloaking
is disabled when uBO detects that a proxy is in use.

This new advanced setting may disappear once the
following Firefox issue is fixed:

Enable CNAME uncloaking by default
Advanced setting `cnameAliasList` has been removed.

New advanced settings:

cnameUncloak:
  Boolean
Default value:
  true
Description:
  Whether to CNAME-uncloak hostnames.

cnameIgnoreExceptions:
  Boolean
Default value:
  true
Description:
  Whether to bypass the uncloaking of network requests
  which were excepted by filters/rules. This is
  necessary so as to avoid undue breakage by having
  exception filters being rendered useless as a result
  of CNAME-uncloaking.
  For example, `google-analytics.com` uncloaks to
  `www-google-analytics.l.google.com` and both hostnames
  appear in Peter Lowe's list, which means exception
  filters for `google-analytics.com` (to fix site
  breakage) would be rendered useless as the uncloaking
  would cause the network request to be ultimately
  blocked.

Fine tune hostname uncloaking through CNAME-lookup
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/780

Related commit:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/3a564c199260

This adds two new advanced settings:

- cnameIgnoreRootDocument
  - Default to `true`
  - Tells uBO to skip CNAME-lookup for root document.

- cnameReplayFullURL
  - Default to `false`
  - Tells uBO whether to replay the whole URL or just
    the origin part of it.
    Replaying only the origin part is meant to lower
    undue breakage and improve performance by avoiding
    repeating the pattern-matching of the whole URL --
    which pattern-matching was most likely already
    accomplished with the original request.

This commit is meant to explore enabling CNAME-lookup
by default for the next stable release while:

- Eliminating a development burden by removing the
  need to create a new filtering syntax to deal with
  undesirable CNAME-cloaked hostnames

- Eliminating a filter list maintainer burden by
  removing the need to find/deal with all base
  domains which engage in undesirable CNAME-cloaked
  hostnames

The hope is that the approach implemented in this
commit should require at most a few unbreak rules
with no further need for special filtering syntax
or filter list maintance efforts.
