The various filtering engine benchmarking functions are best
isolated in their own file since they have specific
dependencies that should not be suffered by the filtering
engines.
Additionally, moved decomposeHostname() into uri-utils.js
as it's a hostname-related function required by many
filtering engine cores -- this allows to further reduce
or outright remove dependency on `µb`.

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

The title of tabs in uBO is solely to have a better
presentation in the logger -- no other purpose.
This commit simplify keeping track of the titles, from
an active approach by directly querying it from tabs
whenever a change occurs, to a passive approach by
storing it when the title string become available in
some tab event handlers.

The new replacement script contains the smallest API
possible to resolve the reported case.
Please report instances where it's not sufficient to
unbreak a site, in which case I will extend the neutered
API to address these cases on an on-demand basis.

The element picker will now properly work on sites where
cosmetic filtering is disabled, but will not allow the
creation of cosmetic filters when specific cosmetic filters
are not meant to be enforced in the current page.
When specific cosmetic filters are not meant to be enforced,
the element picker will still allow the creation of network
filters, that is unless the current page is trusted, in which
case using the element picker is pointless.

This takes care of the specific case reported. There are
other edge cases which are likely not addressed though, i.e.
those involving wildcards -- those should be rather rare and
at this point I rather leave them unaddressed to not
risk regressions (as they are less trivial to address).
