Avoid race conditions between isolated world-side broadcast channel
and main-side broadcast channel, so as to not lose logging
information if the isolated world-side is not yet ready to
receive through its broadcast channel.
Additionally, added new scriptlet: `trusted-replace-argument`.
[...]##+js(trusted-replace-argument, fn, argpos, argval [,condition, pattern])
Where:
- `fn` is the function we want to proxy through an `apply` handler.
This can also be a class, in which case the scriptlet will proxy
through `construct` handler. At the moment, `fn` must exist at the
time the scriptlet executes.
- `argpos` is the 0-based position of the argument we want to change
- `argval` is the value we want to have for the argument -- the value
is interpreted the same way the value for `set-constant` is
interpreted.
- `condition, pattern` is a vararg which tells the scriptlet to act
only if `pattern` is found in the argument to overwrite.
Example of usage:
alliptvlinks.com##+js(trusted-replace-argument, MutationObserver, 0, noopFunc)
This commit brings the following changes to the logger:
All logging output generated by injected scriptlets are now sent to
the logger, the developer console will no longer be used to log
scriptlet logging information.
When the logger is not opened, the scriplets will not output any
logging information.
The goal with this new approach is to allow filter authors to
more easily assess the working of scriptlets without having to
go through scriptlet parameters to enable logging.
Consequently all the previous ways to tell scriptlets to log
information are now obsolete: if the logger is opened, the
scriptlets will log information to the logger.
Another benefit of this approach is that the dev tools do not
need to be open to obtain scriptlets logging information.
Accordingly, new filter expressions have been added to the logger:
"info" and "error". Selecting the "scriptlet" expression will also
keep the logging information from scriptlets.
A new button has been added to the logger (not yet i18n-ed): a
"volume" icon, which allows to enable verbose mode. When verbose
mode is enabled, the scriptlets may choose to output more
information regarding their inner working.
The entries in the logger will automatically expand on mouse hover.
This allows to scroll through entries which text does not fit into
a single row.
Clicking anywhere on an entry in the logger will open the detailed
view when applicable.
Generic information/errors will now be rendered regardless of which
tab is currently selected in the logger (similar to how tabless
entries are already being rendered).
If present, `elements` vararg must be a valid CSS selector, which will
be used to apply the scriptlet to only elements matching the
selector.

Example of usage:
[...]##+js(aeld, click, return"undefined", elements, a.indirect)
Related issue:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2971
Example usage:
...##+js(trusted-trusted-click-element, #cmpwrapper >>> .cmpboxbtnyes)
The substring before ` >>> ` must select an element with a non-null
shadow root, in which case the substring after ` >>> ` will be used
to find the element in the targeted shadow root. ` >>> ` can be used
recursively when multiple shadow root must be pierced.

Improvements:
Support fulfilling the response with the content of a
`web_accessible_resources` resource, using the syntax already
supported by `prevent-xhr`: `war:[name of resource]`
Support fulfilling the response with randomized text with length
specified using `length:min[-max]` directive.

The benefits of diff-patching filter lists is much shorter update
schedule and significantly less bandwidth consumed.
At the moment, only default filter lists are subject to be
diff-patched.
External filter lists can make their lists diff-patchable by
following the specification link above.
Only filter lists fetched by the auto-updater are candidate for
diff-patching.
Forcing a manual update of the filter lists will prevent the
diff-patcher from kicking in until one or more lists are
auto-updated.
Some back-of-the-envelop calculations regarding the load on free
CDN solutions used by uBO to distribute its own filter lists:
Currently, for each CDN (with lists updating after days):
~560 M req/month, ~78 TB/month
With diff-patching lists on a 6-hour schedule:
~390 M req/month, 1 TB/month
Those estimates were done according to statistics shown by
jsDelivr, which is one of 4 CDNs picked randomly when a list
updates:
