It's not clear the code here will fix the reported
issue, but I did identify that the subframe
dictionary of a very long-lived web page can
theoretically grow unbound.

The issue was causing the element picker to being
unable to select elements with no valid `srcset`
property.
Test case -- trying to select one of the embedded
frames in the following page would fail:
- http://raymondhill.net/ublock/tiles1.html
Lines in AdGuard filter lists have trailing `\r`
characters, and these caused the redirect engine
compile code to reject as invalid the redirect
token.
This is trivially fixed by trimming the raw option
strings before parsing it in the redirect engine.

CodeMirror's code folding reference:
- https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#addon_foldcode
This commit adds support for code-folding to the filter
list editor/viewer.
The following blocks of code are foldable by clicking the
corresponding marker in the gutter:
- !#if/#endif blocks
- !#include blocks
Addtionally, the following changes:
- The `!#include` line is now preserved when importing a
sublist
- The `!#if` directives will be syntax-colored according
to whether they evaluate to true or false on the current
platform
- Double-clicking on a foldable line in the gutter will
select the content of the foldable block
- Minor visual improvement to matching brackets
Auto-completion will work only for uBO's own
tokens, compatibility-related tokens[1] will not be
taken into account for auto-completion.
The reason is to not have the compatibility-related
tokens get in the way of auto-completion in order
to not inconvenience uBO's filter list maintainers.
[1] `adguard_ext_chromium`, `adguard_ext_firefox`,
etc.

Invalid values for `!#if ...` will be highlighted as errors.
Auto completion is now supported for both the directives
themselves and the valid values for `!#if ...`.
For examples, when pressing ctrl-space:
- `!#e` will auto-complete to `!#endif`
- `!#i` will offer to choose between `!#if ` or `!#include `
- `!#if fir` will auto-complete to `!#if env_firefox`
Additionally, support for some of AdGuard preparsing
directives, i.e. `!#if adguard` is now a valid and will be
honoured -- it always evaluate to `false` in uBO.
In case of invalid `Expires` value -- i.e. `NaN` -- do
not use `1` as default value, just let uBO pick the
value according to the global default (which is `5` as
of commit time).

Specifically;
- `beacon`, `ping`, and `websocket` cannot be redirected;
- it's ok to not specify a type when redirecting to `empty`
resource;
- `csp=` option can't be mixed with other types, redirec
directives, and more `csp=` options.

Additionally, match unconditionally against `srcset` attribute
when trying to find matching elements in the page. For example,
sometimes an img element may set both `src` and `srcset`
properties, they should not be deemed mutually exclusive.

Unicode characters inside hostname part of a filter will
be converted to punycode.
Unicode characters anywhere else in the pattern will be
percent-encoded.
Unicode characters which cannot be encoded will cause a
filter to be invalid.
This fix the case of the following filter:
trk*.vidible.tv
Not matching:
https://trk.vidible.tv/trk/.vidible.tv
The wildcard is supposed to match any number of
characters, including zero characters. The issue
is that the code was not matching zero characters.
This is due to an incorrect comparison in
BidiTrieContainer.indexOf(), causing the code to
bail out before testing for the zero character
condition.
The regression broke filters of the form:
||trk*.vidible.tv^
The new parser will eventually interpret differently
wildcard characters when they are used in a manner
meant to represent only hostname-valid characters,
but this will come in a future version -- for now
the default meaning must be preserved until the
static network filtering engine is modified to
enforce the new interpretation.

For unknown reasons at this point, it appears some users
end up with a truncated version of EasyList, leading to
improper blocking in uBO.
This commit adds a heuristic to discard a downloaded list
when its new size is more than 25% smaller than the
currently cached version.
This commit adds CodeMirror's auto-completion capability
to the _My filters_ pane.
Currently, auto-completion is available for scriptlet
tokens: pressing ctrl-space while the text cursor is
positioned where a scriptlet token should appear will
cause auto-completion to kick-in. In case of ambiguity,
CodeMirror's widget to pick a specific scriptlet will
appear.
Rename `l` property to `len`, to avoid ambiguity as
`l` could mean _left_ or _length_. Typically `l` is
to be used for _left_ (whereas `r` is to be used for
_right_).
Additionally, add CodeMirror's bracket-matching and
bracket auto-closing to _My filters_ pane and and
bracket-matching to asset viewer page.
Specifically, do not invalidate valid hostnames when
there are extraneous separators: that sort of error
will be visually highlighted but will not otherwise
prevent a filter from being properly enforced.
This ensures proper garbage collection once the parser
is no longer referenced -- this is important now that
the parser is instantiated on-demand only.
Reported internally.
Potential regex flags are passed as is to RegExp contructor,
and in case of failure the query is deemed a plain text one.

This commit moves some of the parsing logic of static
extended filtering into the static filtering parser; this
allows better syntax highlighting and creation-time
error-catching for cosmetic, HTML, and scriptlet filters.
Specifically:
There can't be more than one `redirect` or `csp`
option.
There can be no type specified when there is a
`csp` option.
There must be one single network-related type when
there is a `redirect` option. Since `empty` and
`mp4` imply a `redirect` and a network-related
type, these can't be used along another `redirect`
or network-related type.

Reported internally. The issue could cause the logger
to be unable to successfully reverse-lookup a filter
list for a filter which had tokens longer than 6
characters followed by wildcard.

The regression was made apparent be the fact that
AdGuard filter lists have lines ending with the
CR character.
Computing storage-used figures can take longer than
usual sometimes when a lot of filter lists are enabled,
and this can cause the Settings pane to take longer to
be filled the first time it is opened. Fetching
settings and storage-used figures separately removes
that potential delay (they were fetched together in
a single Promise.all() call).

The new parser needs to be able to deal with trailing
newline characters, which if present will be interpreted
as trailing spaces.
A new standalone static filtering parser is introduced,
vAPI.StaticFilteringParser. It's purpose is to parse
line of text into representation suitable for
compiling filters. It can additionally serves for
syntax highlighting purpose.
As a side effect, this solves:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1038
This is a first draft, there are more work left to do
to further perfect the implementation and extend its
capabilities, especially those useful to assist filter
authors.
For the time being, this commits break line-continuation
syntax highlighting -- which was already flaky prior to
this commit anyway.

This commit adds support entity-matching in the filter
option `domain=`. Example:
pattern$domain=google.*
The `*` above is meant to match any suffix from the Public
Suffix List. The semantic is exactly the same as the
already existing entity-matching support in static
extended filtering:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#entity
Additionally, in this commit:
Fix cases where "just-origin" filters of the form `|http*://`
were erroneously normalized to `|http://`. The proper
normalization of `|http*://` is `*`.
Add support to store hostname strings into the character
buffer of a hntrie container. As of commit time, there are
5,544 instances of FilterOriginHit, and 732 instances of
FilterOriginMiss, which filters require storing/matching a
single hostname string. Those strings are now stored in the
character buffer of the already existing origin-related
hntrie container. (The same approach is used for plain
patterns which are not part of a bidi-trie.)
Pressing spacebar will toggle god mode in popup
panel.
This capability shouldn't encourage people to
misuse _allow_ rules as having to press the
space bar act as an extra necessary step which
purpose is to make the creation of _allow_ rules
more mindful.
There have been too many examples out there of users
opting-in to "I am an advanced user" and yet still misusing
dynamic filtering by creating _allow_ rules where _noop_
rules should be used.
Creating _allow_ rules has serious consequences as these
override blocking static filters and can potentially
disable other advanced filtering ability such as
HTML filtering and scriptlet injection -- often used
to deal with anti-blocker mechanisms.
The ability to point-and-click to create _allow_ rules
from the popup panel is no longer allowed by default.
An new advanced setting has been added to enable
the ability to create _allow_ rules from the popup
panel, `popupPanelGodMode`, which default to `false`.
Set to `true` to restore ability to set _allow_ rules
from popup panel.
Since the creation of _allow_ rules is especially useful
to filter list authors, to diagnose and narrow down site
breakage as a result of problematic blocking filter,
the creation of _allow_ rules will still be available
when the advanced setting `filterAuthorMode` is `true`.
This change is probably going to be problematic to all
those users who were misusing dynamic filtering by
creating _allow_ rules instead of _noop_ rules -- but
the breakage is going to bring their misusing to their
attention, a positive outcome.
Default to `unset`.
To allow users to bypass uBO's default CSS styles in
case they are causing issues to specific users. It is
the responsibility of the user to ensure the value of
`uiStyles` contains valid CSS property declarations.
uBO will assign the value to `document.body.style.cssText`.
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1044
For example, in the case of the issue above, one could
set `uiStyles` to `font-family: sans-serif` to force uBO
to the system font for its user interface.
I can't remember the reason for the added thin gap,
there is no benefit from this for the desktop panel,
probably stray CSS code from some earlier fiddlings.
The "blocked since install" row has been moved
in last position, so that figures that represent
the current site are grouped together.
Do not prevent wrapping the count text strings,
use a minimum width instead -- those count text
strings can be more verbose in some locale, and
by allowing the text to wrap this result in a
less wide main panel.

As per feedback, Firefox is not causing large numbers
to be rendered in a compact form with German locale.
In Chromium, the number 40712345 renders as "40,71 Mio."
for the German locale, while in Firefox the same renders
as "40.710.000".
FilterPlainHostname, an atomic filter unit, has been
removed and is being replaced with a composite filter
made of a pattern filter and a filter which test
hostname boundaries.
Doing so enables filters formerly being represented
by FilterPlainHostname to be now represented as a
plain pattern, and thus to be potentially stored in
a bidi-trie.
Comparing the new filter histogram with the previous
one:
FilterPatternPlain 24612 26432 1820
FilterComposite 17656 17125 -531
FilterPlainTrie Content 12977 13519 542
FilterPlainHostname 2904 0 -2904
FilterBucket 2121 1961 -160
FilterPlainTrie 1418 1578 160
Which means:
- An extra 542 patterns could be stored in bidi-tries
- There are 531 less composite filters needed
- An extra 160 buckets could be aggregated into 160
bidi-trie
Memory-wise, it's a marginal gain (as per Chromium's
Javascript VM instance figure) -- i.e. not worth
talking about). CPU-wise, no measurable difference.
The benefit is that I consider this conceptually
simplifies slightly the static network filtering
code base.
Specifically, the sticky controls box is re-parented
pre-emptively instead of waiting for the decision as
to whether the panel must be toggled into a vertical
layout mode.
Additionally, have the width of the page selector
in the logger proportional to the width of the
logger -- this should improve usability on small
screen devices.

The fix is trivial enough that I feel confident to make
it part of current RC cycle. There are many reports of
block page at launch on Chromium.
The fix is to let the platform pick it's natural suspend
state rather than force it. Once advanced settings are
read, the suspend state will for toggled only if
`suspendTabsUntilReady` is either `yes` or `no`. This
there should no longer be blocked page on Chromium at
launch when using default settings.

Originally the idea was to hide from view the
popup panel layout seemingly being recalculated
by the browser at open time, causing visuals in
the popup panel to slightly move around. Possibly
no longer an issue now that the popup panel
initialization code has been modified since then
to use animation frames.
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1005
There is probably more work to do regarding the
shown URL -- it might be better to truncate it
on small screen display since it can be quite
long sometimes.
In rare instances -- though it definitely happens
eventually -- the popup panel viewport width is seen as
insufficiently wide enough and as a result the popup panel
is toggled into vertical-layout mode.
The added code uses animation frames to delay the
code testing the viewport width. Hopefully this will
work.
