As discussed internally with filter list maintainers.
Additionally, added a search field to filter out lists. This
is still a work in progress, no need to open issues about this,
I am aware of what is missing (i18n, more tags, etc.)

If there exist any built-in filter list which last update time
is older than 2 hours, the "Report a filter issue" page will ask
the user to update their filter lists then verify that the issue
still exists.
Once filter lists are updated, the troubleshooting information
will reflect the change in update time.
This allows to reduce the horizontal size of the gutter; more efficient
management of folding since we already need to parse each line for the
linter; and eventually this will also allows to detect unbalanced
!#if-!#endif directives and report such cases as errors.
Additionally, keep incrementally improving error reporting details
in the linter.

Various feedback of people trying to interact with uBO's dashboard
at browser launch, before uBO's main process is fully initialized,
causing confusion, and potential loss of data.
This new context menu entry will be available only when the
advanced setting `filterAuthorMode` is set to `true`. See:

The purpose is for filter list maintainers to easily access
the source code of web pages when investigating filter issues,
without having to necessarily go through the logger.
Additionally an input field to enter URL directly has been
added to the code viewer for convenience.
This commits add the ability to open html/css/script
resources from the logger, as a formatted and syntax-
highligthed document.
The goal is to make it easier for filter list authors to
investigate filter-related issues.
This commit is a rewrite of the static filtering parser into a
tree-based data structure, for easier maintenance and better
abstraction of parsed filters.
This simplifies greatly syntax coloring of filters and also
simplify extending filter syntax.
The minimum version of Chromium-based browsers has been raised
to version 73 because of usage of String.matchAll().

The "exceptor" feature has been rewritten, with the following
changes as a result:
- The excepted filters cease to exist when closing the logger
- It's now possible to temporary except network filters
When toggling on/off a temporary exception, filter lists are now
fully reloaded. This simplified managing temporary exceptions, and
made it easy to implement temporary exception for network filters,
but this also means there might be a perceptible delay when
adding/removing temporary exceptions. At this point I consider
this an acceptable side-effect just to bring the ability to easily
create temporary exception for network filters, while this
simplified the existing temporary exception code throughout.
`uDom` is old and crusty and `dom` is meant as replacement. The
goal of `dom` is to be simpler and mainly just convenience
methods for handling the DOM with vanilla JS -- this is not a
framework.
Additionally, removed keyboard shortcuts pane which was useful
only on very old versions of Firefox.
