In the static network filtering engine (snfe), the
compiling-related code was spread across two classes.
This commit makes it so that all the compiling-related
code is in FilterCompiler class, which clear purpose is
to compile raw filters into a form which can be persisted
and later fed to the snfe with no parsing overhead.
To compile raw static network filter, the new approach is:
snfe.createCompiler(parser);
Then for each single raw filter to compile:
compiler.compile(parser, writer);
The caller is responsible to keep a reference to the
compiler instance for as long as it is needed. This removes
the need for the clunky code used to keep an instance of
compiler alive in the snfe.
Additionally, snfe.tokenHistograms() has been moved to
benchmarks.js, as it has no dependency on the snfe, it's
just a utility function.
The code exported to nodejs package was revised to use modern
JavaScript syntax. A few issues were fixed at the same time.
The exported classes are:
- DynamicHostRuleFiltering
- DynamicURLRuleFiltering
- DynamicSwitchRuleFiltering
These related to the content the of "My rules" pane in the
uBlock Origin extension.

This change allows to add the redirect engine into the
nodejs package. The purpose of the redirect engine is to
resolve a redirect token into a path to a local resource,
to be used by the caller as wished.
Invalid URLs like "http://" and "http://foo@" trigger TypeErrors
when they are passed to the URL constructor. These TypeErrors
caused the scriptlet to stop processing subsequent noscript nodes
due to uncaught exceptions.
These exceptions are now caught to allow all noscript nodes to
be processed.

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.
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).

The surrogate script googletagmanager_gtm.js was essentially a
subset of surrogate script google-analytics_analytics.js. This
commit makes it a plain alias so that the whole GA API -- often
expected by clients of GTM -- is properly stubbed.
