By default uBO assumed the Shortcut pane was needed,
unless it found the current version of FF was higher
than 73. This commit reverses the test, it assumes
the Shortcut pane is not needed, unless the current
version is lower than 74.

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.
This should improve usability of uBO's hard-mode
and "relax blocking mode" operations. This is the
new default behavior.
The previous behavior of forcing a reload of the
page can be re-enabled by simply setting the `3p`
bit of the advanced setting `blockingProfiles`
to 1.

A new context menu entry, "Block element in frame...", will
be present when right-clicking on a frame element. When
this entry is clicked, uBO's element picker will be
launched from within the embedded frame and function the
same way as when launched from within the page.
No need to store mouse coordinates in background
page, thus no need to post mouse coordinates
information for every click.
Rename/group element picker arguments and popup
arguments separately.

The color value for the icon badge is now
"attached" to the blocking profile value.
Additionally, as per feedback, `3p` rules
will be relaxing before master JavaScript
switch rules.

Additionally, the `3p` rule has been made distinct from
`3p-script`/`3p-frame` for the purpose of
"Relax blocking mode" command.
The badge color will hint at the current blocking mode.
There are four colors for the four following blocking
modes:
- JavaScript wholly disabled
- All 3rd parties blocked
- 3rd-party scripts and frames blocked
- None of the above
The default badge color will be used when JavaScript is not
wholly disabled and when there are no rules for `3p`,
`3p-script` or `3p-frame`.
A new advanced setting has been added to let the user choose
the badge colors for the various blocking modes,
`blockingProfileColors`. The value *must* be a sequence of
4 valid CSS color values that match 6 hexadecimal digits
prefixed with`#` -- anything else will be ignored.

By default, no specific keyboard shortcut is predefined,
this will have to be assigned by the user. The command
name in English is "Toggle blocking profile".
The default behavior is to toggle down according to one
of the following scenarios.
a) If script execution is disabled through the no-scripting
switch, the no-scripting switch will be locally toggled
so as to allow script execution. The page will be
automatically reloaded.
b) If script execution is not blocked but the 3rd-party
script and/or frame cells are blocked, local no-op rules
will be set so as to no longer block 3rd-party scripts
and/or frames. The page will be automatically reloaded.
Given this, it may take more than one toggle down command
to reach the lowest blocking profile, which is one where
JavaScript execution is not blocked and 3rd-party scripts
and frames resources block rules, if any, are bypassed
with local no-op rules.
TODO: At this point, I haven't yet decided whether
toggling from the lowest profile should restore the
original highest blocking profile.
Performance-related work: the logger data has been decoupled
from the DOM -- inspired from CodeMirror's way of efficiently
handling large amout of text data.
This decoupling now makes the logger highly efficient CPU- and
memory-wise, and open the way to more possibilities.
Ability to configure some aspect of the logger behavior and
visuals:
- The hard-coded limit of 5000 entries has been
removed and is now replaced with a variety of
user-configurable settings to enforce the discarding of
logger entries.
- Some columns in the logger output can now be hidden.
The filter list look-up feature has been merged into the
existing overlay dialog used to create URL rules or static
filters, as an entry in a new "Details" pane.

The minimum version supported on Firefox has been bumped
up to 55.0.
