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.
Ports can be disconnected under certain conditions,
and in such case runtime.lastError must be accessed
to avoid the extensions framework from emitting
error messages in the console.

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.
