A new standalone static filtering parser is introduced,
vAPI.StaticFilteringParser. It's purpose is to parse
line of text into representation suitable for
compiling filters. It can additionally serves for
syntax highlighting purpose.
As a side effect, this solves:

This is a first draft, there are more work left to do
to further perfect the implementation and extend its
capabilities, especially those useful to assist filter
authors.
For the time being, this commits break line-continuation
syntax highlighting -- which was already flaky prior to
this commit anyway.
... for the sake of portability.
When including vapi-common.js in an HTML file, then the body element there
will have a "dir" attribute filled with the current locale's direction
(ltr or rtl).
The following languages are considered right-to-left: ar, he, fa, ps, ur.
Everything else is left-to-right.
After the "dir" attribute is set, we can decide in CSS which elements
should have different styling for rtl languages (e.g., body[dir=rtl] #id).
