I can't remember the reason for the added thin gap,
there is no benefit from this for the desktop panel,
probably stray CSS code from some earlier fiddlings.
The "blocked since install" row has been moved
in last position, so that figures that represent
the current site are grouped together.
Do not prevent wrapping the count text strings,
use a minimum width instead -- those count text
strings can be more verbose in some locale, and
by allowing the text to wrap this result in a
less wide main panel.

As per feedback, Firefox is not causing large numbers
to be rendered in a compact form with German locale.
In Chromium, the number 40712345 renders as "40,71 Mio."
for the German locale, while in Firefox the same renders
as "40.710.000".
FilterPlainHostname, an atomic filter unit, has been
removed and is being replaced with a composite filter
made of a pattern filter and a filter which test
hostname boundaries.
Doing so enables filters formerly being represented
by FilterPlainHostname to be now represented as a
plain pattern, and thus to be potentially stored in
a bidi-trie.
Comparing the new filter histogram with the previous
one:
FilterPatternPlain 24612 26432 1820
FilterComposite 17656 17125 -531
FilterPlainTrie Content 12977 13519 542
FilterPlainHostname 2904 0 -2904
FilterBucket 2121 1961 -160
FilterPlainTrie 1418 1578 160
Which means:
- An extra 542 patterns could be stored in bidi-tries
- There are 531 less composite filters needed
- An extra 160 buckets could be aggregated into 160
bidi-trie
Memory-wise, it's a marginal gain (as per Chromium's
Javascript VM instance figure) -- i.e. not worth
talking about). CPU-wise, no measurable difference.
The benefit is that I consider this conceptually
simplifies slightly the static network filtering
code base.
Specifically, the sticky controls box is re-parented
pre-emptively instead of waiting for the decision as
to whether the panel must be toggled into a vertical
layout mode.
Additionally, have the width of the page selector
in the logger proportional to the width of the
logger -- this should improve usability on small
screen devices.

The fix is trivial enough that I feel confident to make
it part of current RC cycle. There are many reports of
block page at launch on Chromium.
The fix is to let the platform pick it's natural suspend
state rather than force it. Once advanced settings are
read, the suspend state will for toggled only if
`suspendTabsUntilReady` is either `yes` or `no`. This
there should no longer be blocked page on Chromium at
launch when using default settings.

Originally the idea was to hide from view the
popup panel layout seemingly being recalculated
by the browser at open time, causing visuals in
the popup panel to slightly move around. Possibly
no longer an issue now that the popup panel
initialization code has been modified since then
to use animation frames.

There is probably more work to do regarding the
shown URL -- it might be better to truncate it
on small screen display since it can be quite
long sometimes.
In rare instances -- though it definitely happens
eventually -- the popup panel viewport width is seen as
insufficiently wide enough and as a result the popup panel
is toggled into vertical-layout mode.
The added code uses animation frames to delay the
code testing the viewport width. Hopefully this will
work.
The old "classic" popup panel will still be used
when at least one of the following is true:
- advanced setting `uiFlavor` is set to `classic`; or
- the browser is Chromium 65 or older; or
- the browser is Firefox 67 or older
The default configuration of the new popup panel
at installation time is to show the power button,
statistics and the basic tool icons, i.e. access
to dashboard, logger, pickers.
For existing installations, the new popup panel
will be configured by respecting the existing
configuration of the classic one.
The new popup panel is currently already in use
on Firefox for Android, and the visual redesign
was made according to suggestions and feedback
from <https://github.com/brampitoyo> to be
optimal for Firefox for Android.
The new popup panel will allow closing the following
pending issues:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/255
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/178
The blocking-stuff button icons have been brought
closer to the power button.
The go-somewhere button icons have been moved at
the bottom.
The hostname of the current site is now shown below
the power button. The base domain is bolded.
This re-ordering is for a few reasons:
- The blocking-stuff button icons are now closer
to the revert/persist/reload transient buttons
which show up when modifying the blocking
behavior of uBO.
- The makes it easier to potentially bring in a
very basic view where only the power button and
the statistics are shown and all the button
icons are hidden from view.
This commit specifically address bringing the
desktop version of the new popup panel's look
and feel more inline with the classic one:
- Hide tool captions on desktop
- Bring back no-popups switch on desktop
- Bring back tooltips on desktop (though they
are now rendered natively by the browser)
- Use the Photon icons suggested by @brampitoyo
for the no-popups and no-remote-fonts
switches

The real fix is not trivial, so this is a workaround
until the real fix. The logger's setting dialog is
also suffering from small visual issues due to all
the CSS changes elsewhere recently, this will be fixed
at the same time.
Noteworthy:
- Make new popup panel better resize in desktop
environment
- Fix button visuals in "My rules" pane
- Keep "Update now" button visible until update
is completed
- Renaming CSS variables for consistency
Better constrast for warning color. Related feedback:

Revisit how large numbers are rendered in a
compact form in the new popup panel. Feedback
from https://crowdin.com/project/ublock pointed
out that the string to translate was flawed for
Chinese locale (and possibly in some other
locales as well).
The rendering of the total number of blocked
requests will now be abbreviated using `M` and
`G` when the block count is respectively above
1 million and 1 billion.
The storage used figure in the Settings pane
will be rendered using KB, MB or GB.
