uBO will not discard secondary requests fired before a root
frame is committed, by ensuring that if newly uncommitted
root frames are of the same origin as previous one(s), the
uncommited journal slot pointer is not updated.

Patternless `queryprune` ar enow preserved as being
pattern-less while still attempting to extract a token
from the `queryprune` value. This allows to report the
filter in the logger same as its original form.
The following regex are not rejected as invalid when
using built-in regex objects:
/abc]/
/a7,18}/
/a{7,18/
However, as per documentation, they are not supposed to
be valid, as `{` and `}` are special characters and as
such should be escaped:
/abc\]/
/a7,18\}/
/a\{7,18/
With this commit, the regexes will additionally be
validated using the regex analyzer library in the editor
to ensure strict regex syntax compliance so as to avoid
what are likely mistakes in regex crafting by authors.
This commit fixes mouse double-click-and-drag operations,
which was broken due to the implementation of a custom
word selection in the filter list editor/viewer.
Regex-based static network filters are those most likely to
cause performance degradation, and as such the best guard
against undue performance degradation caused by regex-based
filters is the ability to extract valid and good tokens
from regex patterns.
This commit introduces a complete regex parser so that the
static network filtering engine can now safely extract
tokens regardless of the complexity of the regex pattern.
The regex parser is a library imported from:

The syntax highlighter adds an underline to regex-based
filters as a visual aid to filter authors so as to avoid
mistakenly creating regex-based filters. This commit
further colors the underline as a warning when a regex-based
filter is found to be untokenizable.
Filter list authors are invited to spot these untokenizable
regex-based filters in their lists to verify that no
mistake were made for those filters, causing them to be
untokenizabke. For example, what appears to be a mistake:
/^https?:\/\/.*\/sw.js?.[a-zA-Z0-9%]{50,}/
Though the mistake is minor, the regex-based filter above
is untokenizable as a result, and become tokenizable when
the `.` is properly escaped:
/^https?:\/\/.*\/sw\.js?.[a-zA-Z0-9%]{50,}/
Filter list authors can use this search expression in the
asset viewer to find instances of regex-based filters:
/^(@@)?\/[^\n]+\/(\$|$)/
