New procedural cosmetic operator: `:remove()`
Related issue:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/2252
The purpose is to outright remove elements from the
DOM tree. Since `:remove()` is an "action" operator,
it must only be used as a trailing operator (just
like the `:style()` operator).
AdGuard's cosmetic filter syntax `{ remove: true; }`
will be converted to uBO's `:remove()` operator
internally.
***
New procedural cosmetic operator: `:upward(...)`
The purpose is to lookup an ancestor element.
When used with an integer argument, it is synonym of
`:nth-ancestor()`, which will be deprecated and which
will no longer be supported once no longer used in
mainstream filter lists.
Filter lists maintainers must only use `:upward(int)`
instead of `:nth-ancestor(int)` once the new operator
become available in all stable releases of uBO.
`:upward()` can also accept a CSS selector as argument,
in which case the nearest ancestor which matches the
CSS selector will be selected.

Procedural cosmetic exception filters were the
last class of cosmetic exception filters not
being reported in the logger; this commit fixes
this.
Additionally, ensure that a single DOM listener
can't prevent other listeners from being
processed by throwing an exception. Such approach
would have prevented regression leading to
emergency release 1.22.4:

Ensure that the code which depends on extending
`vapi-client.js` is ready to deal with
`vapi-client-extra.js` failing to load.
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/
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.
Issue reported by @uBlock-user in team channel.
Creating cosmetic procedural exception filters was
causing `cosmetic-logger.js` scriptlet to throw at
and thus further breaking the logging of cosmetic
filters overall.

Additionally, the extended exception filters in the
logger will be rendered with a line-through to more
easily distinguish them from non-exception ones.
Also, opportunistically converted revisited code to
ES6 syntax.
* Fix leftovers from old code.
* change changes.procedural.size to changes.procedural.length
changes.procedural is an array so it should be changes.procedural.length
the code works with changes.procedural.size because (undefined !== 0) is always true.
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).
