Additionally, finalize versioning scheme for uBOL. Since most updates
will be simply related to update rulesets, the version will from now
on reflects the date at which the extension package was created:
year.month.day.minutes
So for example:
2023.8.19.690

The `randomize` paramater introduced in https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/418087de9c
is now named `directive`, and beside the `true` value which is meant
to respond with a random 10-character string, it can now take the
following value:
war:[web_accessible_resource name]
In order to mock the XHR response with a web accessible resource. For
example:
piquark6046.github.io##+js(no-xhr-if, adsbygoogle.js, war:googlesyndication_adsbygoogle.js)
Will cause the XHR performed by the webpage to resolve to the content
of `/web_accessible_resources/googlesyndication_adsbygoogle.js`.
Should the resource not exist, the empty string will be returned.
Additionally:
Use `export UBO_VERSION=local` at the console to build MV3 extension using
current version of uBO code base. By default, the version is taken from
`./platform/mv3/ubo-version' and usually set to last stable release.
Since in uBOL filter lists from various sources are combined into
a single list, there must be a way to turn on/off trust level
inside the resulting combined filter list so as to be able to
validate the trust level of filters requiring trust.
This commit adds new parser directives understood only by MV3
compiler to turn on/off trust flag internally.
See `managed_storage.json` for available settings. Currently
only `noFiltering` setting is availale.
`noFiltering` is an array of strings, each being a domain for
which no filtering should occur.

Avoid using updateContentScripts() as it suffers from an unexpected
behavior, causing injected content scripts to lose proper order
at injection time. The order in which content scripts are injected
is key for uBOL content scripts. Potential out of order injection
was causing cosmetic filtering to be broken.
Use actual storage API to persist data across service worker
wake-ups and browser launches. uBOL was trying to avoid using
storage API, at the cost of somewhat hacky code (using DNR API
to persist settings).
Make use of session storage if available, to speed up
initialization of waking up the service worker (which at this
point is necessary to properly implement cosmetic filtering).
