These spurious error messages can occur when a
extension framework API method return a
rejected Promise. In uBO the results of
browserAction methods is not used so it can be
safely discarded.

For static filter `popup` filter purpose, the URL of the
embedded frame from which the popup was launched will
be used in the matching algorithm.
As reported by https://github.com/uBlock-user,
adding the two following filters:
example.com##div:style(width: 1016px !important)
example.com##div:style(display: block !important)
The logger would report only one of the filter when
navigating to https://example.com/
While testing for the new `elemhide` option using ABP's
test page[1], I found out that the placeholder of the
blocked image on that page was not properly collapsed
by uBO.
The reason was because the page is very simple and
flushing the blocked-elements cache at
webNavigation.onCommitted time was causing the loss
of information collected between
webRequest.onBeforeRequest and
webNavigation.onCommitted, preventing uBO from
properly collapsing the placeholders.
The blocked-elements cache is now flushed
ONLY at webRequest.onBeforeRequest time.

... from platform-independent code.
This should complete the de-chromiumification of
uBO. Next step will be to swap the content of the
`platform/chromium` and `platform/firefox`
folders so as to reflect that Firefox is the
natural platform for uBO.

The `elemhide` filter option as per ABP semantic is
now supported. Previously uBO would consider `elemhide`
to be an alias of `generichide`.
The support of `elemhide` is through the convenient
conversion of `elemhide` option into existing
`generichide` option and new `specifichide` option.
The purpose of the new `specifichide` filter option
is to disable all specific cosmetic filters, i.e.
those who target a specific site.
Additionally, for convenience purpose, the filter
options `generichide`, `specifichide` and `elemhide`
can be aliased using the shorter forms `ghide`,
`shide` and `ehide` respectively.
Little-used code from vapi-client.js has been moved
to vapi-client-extra.js. Given that vapi-client.js
is injected in all web pages, this means less dead
code being injected in all pages.
Swathes of code in vapi-client.js was used only in
a few very specific cases, such as when the logger's
DOM inspector is opened or when the "Filter lists"
pane in the dashboard is opened -- and thus to avoid
that little used code to be loaded in every web page
unconditionally, it has been moved to its own
separate file, vapi-client.extra.js.
vapi-client-extra.js is loaded declaratively or
programmatically only where needed.
No need to store mouse coordinates in background
page, thus no need to post mouse coordinates
information for every click.
Rename/group element picker arguments and popup
arguments separately.
