The rendering of the total number of blocked
requests will now be abbreviated using `M` and
`G` when the block count is respectively above
1 million and 1 billion.
The storage used figure in the Settings pane
will be rendered using KB, MB or GB.

This is yet another incremental step toward
redesigning the UI, much more is left to do.
The idea is to align uBO's UI to that of
Firefox Preview.
Additionally, code has been added to reset
the new popup panel to vertical layout should
the viewport be not wide enough to
accomodate the horizontal layout.

Instead of having the `localStorage` data being accessed
from different locations, all accesses are now funnelled
to the main process.
Doing so simplifies the code in auxiliary processes and
also remove the need for browser.storage.local.onChanged()
listeners.
No longer using an onChanged() listener also happens to
remove spurious warnings from the Firefox console.

This commit focuses on implementing the use of
CSS `var(...)` throughout so as to make it easy
to create themes -- a requirement for uBO to
support a dark theme.
There is still work to do regarding converting
uBO's CSS to completely support `var(...)` but
being able to start using theming will help
complete and fine tune CSS `var(...)` support.

This commit fixes parts of the re-design not
rendering as intended as per <https://github.com/brampitoyo>'s
feedback screenshots.
The dashboard tab buttons have been converted to
`span` tags (from `a` tags), thus eliminating
the unwanted side effect of the text being
rendered as unvisited links (blueish).
The font size intended for touch screens was not
taking effect due to bad cut & paste.
Other minor adjustments to improve consistency
in spacing.
This commit add the ability to fetch from CDN servers
when an asset is fetched as a result of auto-update.
If an asset has a `cdnURLs` entry in `assets.json`,
the asset will be auto-updated using one of those
CDN URLs. When many CDN URLs are specified, those
URLs will be shuffled in order to spread the bandwidth
across all specified CDN servers. If all specified CDN
servers fail to respond, uBO will fall back to usual
`contentURLs` entry.
The `cdnURLs` are used only when an asset is
auto-updated, this ensures a user will get the more
recent available version of an asset when manually
updating.
The motivation of this new feature is to relieve
GitHub from acting as a CDN (which it is not) for
uBO -- an increasing concern with the growing adoption
of uBO along with the growing size of key uBO assets.

The changes in this commit are mostly related
to the "Filter lists" pane.
An eye icon has been added, which purpose is
to view the content of a list. Clicking on the

checkbox.

The race condition was that a content script could
query the main process to retrieve cosmetic filters
while the cosmetic filters had not been yet fully
loaded into memory. The fix ensure that an already
injected content script will re-query once the
cosmetic filters are fully loaded in memory at
browser launch time.

The problematic site does not declare the expected
`disqus_shortname` global variable, so the scriptlet
has been extended to deal with such occurrence.

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:
