Additionally, have a list of preset colors for the color
picker (unlike Firefox, Chromium's built-in color picker
does not have a list of preset colors by default).
Too many changes to list here, essentially there is now a
user interface setting to enable/disable dark theme, and
I've rearranged a bit the Settings pane as a result and
also altered other visuals in various places.
There are places which I know have not been thoroughly
tested (i.e. logger inspector).
Will fine-tune as per feedback.
Issues with the classic popup panel will not be addressed,
and if feedback is that it has become unusuable, it will be
outright removed.

Prior to this commit, the ability to enable/disable the
uncloaking of canonical names was only available to advanced
users. This commit make it so that the setting can be
toggled from the _Settings_ pane.
The setting is enabled by default. The documentation should
be clear that the setting should not be disabled unless it
actually solves serious network issues, for example:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1694404
Also, as a result, the advanced setting `cnameUncloak` is no
longer available from within the advanced settings editor.

This is yet another incremental step toward
redesigning the UI, much more is left to do.
The idea is to align uBO's UI to that of
Firefox Preview.
Additionally, code has been added to reset
the new popup panel to vertical layout should
the viewport be not wide enough to
accomodate the horizontal layout.

Roughly, the changes in this commit:
- Make it easier to implement a dark theme eventually:
- Flatten the look of buttons
- Remove the use of `opacity` style property as a
color modifier
- Some work toward removing dependency on FontAwesome
font
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.

The minimum version supported on Firefox has been bumped
up to 55.0.
<https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3436>: a new per-site switch
has been added, no-scripting, which purpose is to wholly disable/enable
javascript for a given site. This new switch has precedence over all
other ways javascript can be disabled, including precedence over dynamic
filtering rules.
The popup panel will report the number of script resources which have
been seen by uBO for the current page. There is a minor inaccuracy to
be fixed regarding the count, and which fix requires to extend request
journaling.
<https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/308>: the `noscript` tags will
now be respected when the new no-scripting switch is in effect on a given
site.
A default setting has been added to the _Settings_ pane to
disable/enable globally the new no-script switch, such that one can
work in default-deny mode regarding javascript execution.
<https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/155>: a new
hidden setting, `requestJournalProcessPeriod`, has been added to
allow controlling the delay before uBO internally process it's
network request journal queue. Default to 1000 (milliseconds).
