Specifically, avoid long list of hostnames for the `matches`
property[1] when registering the content scripts, as this was causing
whole browser freeze for long seconds in Chromium-based browsers
(reason unknown).
The content scripts themselves will sort out which cosmetic filters to
apply on which websites.
This change makes it now possible to support annoyances-related lists,
and thus two lists have been added:
- EasyList -- Annoyances
- EasyList -- Cookies
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-issues/issues/5
These annoyances-related lists contains many thousands of specific
cosmetic filters and as a result, before the above change this was
causing long seconds of whole browser freeze when simply modifying
the blocking mode of a specific site via the slider in the popup
panel.
It is now virtually instantaneous, at the cost of injecting larger
cosmetic filtering-related content scripts (which typically should
be garbage-collected within single-digit milliseconds).
Also, added support for entity-based cosmetic filters. (They were
previously discarded).

`uDom` is old and crusty and `dom` is meant as replacement. The
goal of `dom` is to be simpler and mainly just convenience
methods for handling the DOM with vanilla JS -- this is not a
framework.
Additionally, removed keyboard shortcuts pane which was useful
only on very old versions of Firefox.
Network filters with csp= option will now be enforced.
Caveat: DNR API does not have support for exception csp= rules,
so excepted csp= filters are currently rejected at conversion time.
This adds support for `redirect=` filters. As with `removeparam=`
filters, `redirect=` filters can only be enforced when the
default filtering mode is set to Optimal or Complete, since these
filters require broad host permissions to be enforced by the DNR
engine.
`redirect-rule=` filters are not supported since there is no
corresponding DNR syntax.
Additionally, fixed the dropping of whole network filters even though
those filters are still useful despite not being completely
enforceable -- for example a filter with a single (unsupported) domain
using entity syntax in its `domain=` option should not be wholly
dropped when there are other valid domains in the list.
