The purpose of this new network filter option is to remove
query parameters form the URL of network requests.
The name `queryprune` has been picked over `querystrip`
since the purpose of the option is to remove some
parameters from the URL rather than all parameters.
`queryprune` is a modifier option (like `csp`) in that it
does not cause a network request to be blocked but rather
modified before being emitted.
`queryprune` must be assigned a value, which value will
determine which parameters from a query string will be
removed. The syntax for the value is that of regular
expression *except* for the following rules:
- do not wrap the regex directive between `/`
- do not use regex special values `^` and `$`
- do not use literal comma character in the value,
though you can use hex-encoded version, `\x2c`
- to match the start of a query parameter, prepend `|`
- to match the end of a query parameter, append `|`
`queryprune` regex-like values will be tested against each
key-value parameter pair as `[key]=[value]` string. This
way you can prune according to either the key, the value,
or both.
This commit introduces the concept of modifier filter
options, which as of now are:
- `csp=`
- `queryprune=`
They both work in similar way when used with `important`
option or when used in exception filters. Modifier
options can apply to any network requests, hence the
logger reports the type of the network requests, and no
longer use the modifier as the type, i.e. `csp` filters
are no longer reported as requests of type `csp`.
Though modifier options can apply to any network requests,
for the time being the `csp=` modifier option still apply
only to top or embedded (frame) documents, just as before.
In some future we may want to apply `csp=` directives to
network requests of type script, to control the behavior
of service workers for example.
A new built-in filter expression has been added to the
logger: "modified", which allow to see all the network
requests which were modified before being emitted. The
translation work for this new option will be available
in a future commit.
Additionally, add a button in the About pane
to launch benchmark sessions. The button will
be available only when advanced setting
`benchmarkDatasetURL` is set and pointing to
a valid dataset.

The deadline to interactively load a specific media
element has been extended from 2sec to 5sec.
Clicking over a blocked large media element will cause
uBO to lookup and handle all potentially blocked large
elements at the cursor position. This should take care
of being able to unblock media elements hidden under
other DOM object.
The CSS style applied to blocked large media elements
has been fine tuned to improve interactivity.
uBO will now remember the specific media elements which
were unblocked and keep them exempted from being
further blocked. This would be an issue when unblocking
a video and then a bit later seeking to another point
in the video, in which case uBO would again block
network requests for that video.
The specificity slider will now be more intuitive
by ordering candidates by match count from highest
match count to the left to the lowest match count
to the right.
Candidates with same match counts will be discarded
and replaced with the shortest candidate.

Double-clicking on...
... a filter option will cause the option to be
wholly selected, including `=[value]` if present;
... a value assigned to a filter option will cause
the value to be wholly selected, except when the
value is a hostname/entity, in which case all the
labels from the cursor position to the right-most
label will be selected.
This allows to bring in all the benefits of
syntax highlighting and enhanced editing
features in the element picker, like auto-
completion, etc.
This is also a necessary step to possibly solve
the following issue:

Additionally, incrementally improved the behavior
of uBO's custom CodeMirror static filtering syntax
mode when double-clicking somewhere in a static
extended filter:
- on a class/id string will cause the whole
class/id string to be selected, including the
prepending `.`/`#`.
- somewhere in a hostname/entity will cause all
the labels from the cursor position to the
right-most label to be selected (subject to
change/fine-tune as per feedback of filter
list maintainers).

The redirectable resource has been renamed
`click2load.html`, so as to avoid uses of dash
characters and to also allow for future different
click-to-load resources.
Additionally, as a requirement to support click-to-load
feature, redirected resources will from now on no
longer be collapsed.

This new feature should considered in its draft
stage and it needs to be fine-tuned as per
feedback.
Important: Only embedded frames can be converted
into click-to-load widgets, as only these can be
properly shieded from access by page content.
Examples of usage:
||youtube.com/embed/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload
||scribd.com/embeds/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload
||player.vimeo.com/video/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload
