The Promise chain was not properly designed for WASM module
loading. This became apparent when removing WASM modules
from Opera build[1].
The problem was that errors thrown by fetch() -- used to
load WASM modules -- were not properly handled.
[1] Opera refuses updating uBO if there are unrecognized file
types in the package, and `.wasm`/`.wat` files are not
recognized by Opera uploader.

The erroneous behavior was to compute the URL of a sublist as
relative to the URL of the root list, which may differ from the
URL of a parent list.

Both flavors will be stitched together into a single
`vapi-qebrequest.js` file.
The decision of which flavor to use will be made at runtime,
according to the browser environment.
Those spurious disconnections have been observed to occur at
uBO's launch time.

I have observed that this fixes an issue observed on Firefox 64
(current stable).
The reported Waterfox issue *may* be fixed as a result. If not,
the issue he still considered fixed as Waterfox is not
officially supported.
I see the outside world still referring to these graphes as
reference material in arguments regarding uBO's efficiency.
I have no doubt uBO is more efficient than other content
blockers with similar capabilities, but using obsolete
measurement is not the proper way to make the point.
I may add new benchmarks but these are time-consuming
so for now it's best to remove this section based on outdated
materials.

The advanced setting `cacheStorageAPI` has been added to allow
a user to force the use of IndexedDB as cache storage. Set to
`IndexedDB` to force use of IndexedDB. Default to `unset`.

This is a first iteration, which purpose is to merely allow
uBO to load properly. Many things are known to not work,
quite probably due to the early Thunderbird support of the
WebExtensions framework.
Permission which had to be removed:
- contextMenus
Manifest entries which had to be removed:
- commands
- sidebar_action
uBO's webRequest listeners are not being called when loading a
feed item in the preview pane, *except* for resources fetched
from embedded iframes.
uBO appears to function properly when a feed item is opened in
its own tab.
