The new setting, when disabled (enabled by default), allows a user
to prevent uBO from waiting for all filter lists to be loaded
before allowing network activity at launch. The setting is enabled
by default, meaning uBO waits for all filter lists to be loaded in
memory before unsuspending network activity. Some users may find
this behavior undesirable, hence the new setting.
This gives the option to potentially speed up page load at launch,
at the cost of potentially not properly filtering network requests
as per filter lists/rules.
For platforms not supporting the suspension of network activity,
the setting will merely prevent whatever mechanism exists on the
platform to mitigate improper filtering of network requests at
launch. For example, in Chromium-based browsers, unchecking the
new setting will prevent the browser from re-loading tabs for
which there was network activity while in "suspended" state at
launch.
Fixed serious regression in previous dev build in applying
`csp=` filters. Reported internally by uBO team.
Promote usage of `removeparam` in code instead of `queryprune`,
which is to be deprecated.
Removed test against previously tested hostname in
FilterHostnameDict since as per various benchmark, the
test does not really help.
Remove serialization API in Node.js code as the API is now
present in SNFE itself.
Not sure this can really happen, but if ever Math.random() would
return `0.9999999999999999`, the attribute name would start with
`{`, i.e. an invalid attribute name.

The regression affect filter with the `important` option when
the following conditions were fulfilled:
- The filter pattern is pure hostname
- The filter has not one of the following options:
- domain
- denyallow
- header
- strict1p, strict3p
- csp
- removeparam
- There is a matching exception filter

A related mocha test has been added in order to detect this
specific regression in the future through `make test`.
