The deadline to interactively load a specific media
element has been extended from 2sec to 5sec.
Clicking over a blocked large media element will cause
uBO to lookup and handle all potentially blocked large
elements at the cursor position. This should take care
of being able to unblock media elements hidden under
other DOM object.
The CSS style applied to blocked large media elements
has been fine tuned to improve interactivity.
uBO will now remember the specific media elements which
were unblocked and keep them exempted from being
further blocked. This would be an issue when unblocking
a video and then a bit later seeking to another point
in the video, in which case uBO would again block
network requests for that video.
The specificity slider will now be more intuitive
by ordering candidates by match count from highest
match count to the left to the lowest match count
to the right.
Candidates with same match counts will be discarded
and replaced with the shortest candidate.

Double-clicking on...
... a filter option will cause the option to be
wholly selected, including `=[value]` if present;
... a value assigned to a filter option will cause
the value to be wholly selected, except when the
value is a hostname/entity, in which case all the
labels from the cursor position to the right-most
label will be selected.
This allows to bring in all the benefits of
syntax highlighting and enhanced editing
features in the element picker, like auto-
completion, etc.
This is also a necessary step to possibly solve
the following issue:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/2035
Additionally, incrementally improved the behavior
of uBO's custom CodeMirror static filtering syntax
mode when double-clicking somewhere in a static
extended filter:
- on a class/id string will cause the whole
class/id string to be selected, including the
prepending `.`/`#`.
- somewhere in a hostname/entity will cause all
the labels from the cursor position to the
right-most label to be selected (subject to
change/fine-tune as per feedback of filter
list maintainers).

The redirectable resource has been renamed
`click2load.html`, so as to avoid uses of dash
characters and to also allow for future different
click-to-load resources.
Additionally, as a requirement to support click-to-load
feature, redirected resources will from now on no
longer be collapsed.

This new feature should considered in its draft
stage and it needs to be fine-tuned as per
feedback.
Important: Only embedded frames can be converted
into click-to-load widgets, as only these can be
properly shieded from access by page content.
Examples of usage:
||youtube.com/embed/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload
||scribd.com/embeds/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload
||player.vimeo.com/video/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload

Name: `uiTheme`
Default: `unset`
Values:
- `unset`: uBO will pick the theme according to
browser's `prefers-color-scheme`
- `light`: force light scheme
- `dark`: force dark theme
This advanced setting is not to be documented yet as
it has not been decided this is a long term solution.
Double-cliking on a URL will cause the whole URL to be
selected, thus making it easier to navigate to this
URL (through your browser "Open in new tab" entry in
contextual menu).
Unrecognized scriptlet names will be highlighted so as
to warn that the filter is not going to be effective.
Injecting declarative CSS `:style()` selector could cause
the instatiation of the procedural filterer, even when
there was no actual procedural cosmetic filter to
enforce.
This commit ensure that the procedural cosmetic filterer
is instantiated only when there are actual procedural
filters to enforce.

Changes:
From now on, uBO will allow click-to-subscribe on only
a few select domains, currently:
- https://filterlists.com/
- https://github.com/
- https://github.io/
More domains can be added if and only the demonstration
is made that more than a marginal number of filter lists
can be subscribed from those domains.
The browser alert box is no longer used to confirm
subscription to a filter list. Instead, the asset
viewer has been expanded to serve that purpose. This
way, users can peruse at the content of a filter list
before subscribing to it.
Now that the element picker user interface is isolated
frompage content world, there is no need to use the
`important` modifier for the element picker's own
CSS styles.
