Theoretically, if a selfie is loaded from corrupted
storage resulting in a thrown exception from the
constructor, this would cause an improperly initialized
HostnameBasedDB instance and overall potentially a
broken uBO.

Since https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/156
won't be fixed in next release, no need to ship
with code which will be unused, and anyways only once
the fix is worked on will it be clear exactly what needs
to be used by scriptlets to deal harmoniously with
property listener collisions.
Make sure the parser is safely compatible with old
resources format -- for those users still using
custom resources (via `userResourcesLocation`).
Prepare code for future fix to
<https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/156>:
This commit introduces a new private Map() object,
`uBOSafe`, accessible by all injected scriptlets. This
private safe can be used to store data which can be shared
with different scriptlets. The idea is for scriptlets to
use that safe to graciously deal with the need to install
multiple listeners for the same property.
Since resources are now immutable, by default they are
only compiled once each time uBO updates to a new
version. However I need a way to force a re-compiling
of the resource in the dev build. This commit adds code
to invalidate the resources selfie when forcing the
update of any filter list.
With hindsight, I revised decisions made earlier during
this development cycle:
Un-redirectable scriptlets have been removed from
/web_accessible_resources and instead put in the new
/assets/resources/scriptlets.js, which contains all
scriptlets used for web page injection purpose.
uBO will no longer fetch a remote version of built-in
resources.
Advanced setting `userResourcesLocation` will still be
honoured by uBO, and if set, will be fetched every
time at least one asset is updated.

The `behnind-the-scene` context was wrongly used to
evaluate the whitelist status of the context of tabless
network requests. The document origin must be used
instead when it's available.
Additionally, much code has been revisited for better
ES6 syntax compliance.
