Inject procedural cosmetic filterer's code only when needed
The procedural cosmetic filtering code has been split from
the content script code injected unconditionally and will
from now on be injected only when it is needed, i.e. when
there are procedural cosmetic filters to enforce.

The motivation for this is:
https://www.debugbear.com/blog/2020-chrome-extension-performance-report#what-can-extension-developers-do-to-keep-their-extensions-fast

Though uBO's content script injected unconditionally in all
pages/frames is relatively small, I still wanted to further
reduce the amount of content script code injected
unconditionally: The procedural cosmetic filtering code
represents roughly 14KB of code the browser won't have to
parse/execute unconditionally unless there exists procedural
cosmetic filters to enforce for a page or frame.

At the time the above article was published, the total
size of unconditional content scripts injected by uBO was
~101 KB, while after this commit, the total size will be
~57 KB (keeping in mind uBO does not minify and does not
remove comments from its JavaScript code).

Additionally, some refactoring on how user stylesheets are
injected so as to ensure that `:style`-based procedural
filters which are essentially declarative are injected
earlier along with plain, non-procedural cosmetic filters.
