`uDom` is old and crusty and `dom` is meant as replacement. The
goal of `dom` is to be simpler and mainly just convenience
methods for handling the DOM with vanilla JS -- this is not a
framework.
Additionally, removed keyboard shortcuts pane which was useful
only on very old versions of Firefox.

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.
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.
Performance-related work: the logger data has been decoupled
from the DOM -- inspired from CodeMirror's way of efficiently
handling large amout of text data.
This decoupling now makes the logger highly efficient CPU- and
memory-wise, and open the way to more possibilities.
Ability to configure some aspect of the logger behavior and
visuals:
- The hard-coded limit of 5000 entries has been
removed and is now replaced with a variety of
user-configurable settings to enforce the discarding of
logger entries.
- Some columns in the logger output can now be hidden.
The filter list look-up feature has been merged into the
existing overlay dialog used to create URL rules or static
filters, as an entry in a new "Details" pane.
Other issues addressed during refactoring:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/280
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/1999
The minimum version supported on Firefox has been bumped
up to 55.0.
Using Google bigquery I found that your code was comparing the result of `typeof` with a variable named `undefined`.
As typeof returns a string it should compare to a string with the content `'undefined'`
Aside extending cosmetic filtering abilities, I expect this will
also take care of some long standing issues (I will have to find them
and mark them as "resolved" by this commit, as time allow).
