The color value for the icon badge is now
"attached" to the blocking profile value.
Additionally, as per feedback, `3p` rules
will be relaxing before master JavaScript
switch rules.

Additionally, the `3p` rule has been made distinct from
`3p-script`/`3p-frame` for the purpose of
"Relax blocking mode" command.
The badge color will hint at the current blocking mode.
There are four colors for the four following blocking
modes:
- JavaScript wholly disabled
- All 3rd parties blocked
- 3rd-party scripts and frames blocked
- None of the above
The default badge color will be used when JavaScript is not
wholly disabled and when there are no rules for `3p`,
`3p-script` or `3p-frame`.
A new advanced setting has been added to let the user choose
the badge colors for the various blocking modes,
`blockingProfileColors`. The value *must* be a sequence of
4 valid CSS color values that match 6 hexadecimal digits
prefixed with`#` -- anything else will be ignored.

By default, no specific keyboard shortcut is predefined,
this will have to be assigned by the user. The command
name in English is "Toggle blocking profile".
The default behavior is to toggle down according to one
of the following scenarios.
a) If script execution is disabled through the no-scripting
switch, the no-scripting switch will be locally toggled
so as to allow script execution. The page will be
automatically reloaded.
b) If script execution is not blocked but the 3rd-party
script and/or frame cells are blocked, local no-op rules
will be set so as to no longer block 3rd-party scripts
and/or frames. The page will be automatically reloaded.
Given this, it may take more than one toggle down command
to reach the lowest blocking profile, which is one where
JavaScript execution is not blocked and 3rd-party scripts
and frames resources block rules, if any, are bypassed
with local no-op rules.
TODO: At this point, I haven't yet decided whether
toggling from the lowest profile should restore the
original highest blocking profile.
Performance-related work: the logger data has been decoupled
from the DOM -- inspired from CodeMirror's way of efficiently
handling large amout of text data.
This decoupling now makes the logger highly efficient CPU- and
memory-wise, and open the way to more possibilities.
Ability to configure some aspect of the logger behavior and
visuals:
- The hard-coded limit of 5000 entries has been
removed and is now replaced with a variety of
user-configurable settings to enforce the discarding of
logger entries.
- Some columns in the logger output can now be hidden.
The filter list look-up feature has been merged into the
existing overlay dialog used to create URL rules or static
filters, as an entry in a new "Details" pane.
