Leading wildcards before valid token characters need to
be kept in order to respect the semantic of the filter.
A leading wildcard in such case changes the semantic of
a filter, i.e. two following filters are semantically
different:
example/abc
*example/abc
As a result, µBlock.BidiTrieContainer.indexOf() is now
able to deal with a needle of length zero -- which is
what happens in FilterPatternLeft(Ex) with filter
patterns starting with `*` (or `^*`) and followed by
valid token characters (0-9, a-z and %).

Changes related to above issue made it possible to
create WASM versions of methods used in the bidi-trie.
In this commit, WASM versions for startsWith(), indexOf()
and lastIndexOf() have been implemented.
Consider the two following filters:
example.com
www.example.com
This commit make it so that if the first filter is
already present in a given HNTrie, the second filter
will not be stored, since HNTrie will _always_
return the first filter as a match whenever the
hostname to match is example.com or any subdomain
of example.com.
The detection of such pointless filters is
virtually free when adding a hostname to an HNTrie
instance (given how data is stored in the trie), so
in practice no overhead is incurred to detect such
pointless filters.
The ability to ignore impossible to match filters
in HNTrie instances will _especially_ benefit those
using large hosts files.
Examples of how this helps using real configurations:
- Default lists:
444 filters out of 100,382 were ignored as a result
of this commit.
- Default lists + "Energized Ultimate Protection":
283,669 filters out of 903,235 were ignored as a
result of this commit.
Side note: There was no measurable difference between
the two configurations above in the performance of
the matching algorithm as reported by the built-in
benchmark tool.
