Fine tune hostname uncloaking through CNAME-lookup
Related issue:

This adds two new advanced settings:

- cnameIgnoreRootDocument
  - Default to `true`
  - Tells uBO to skip CNAME-lookup for root document.

- cnameReplayFullURL
  - Default to `false`
  - Tells uBO whether to replay the whole URL or just
    the origin part of it.
    Replaying only the origin part is meant to lower
    undue breakage and improve performance by avoiding
    repeating the pattern-matching of the whole URL --
    which pattern-matching was most likely already
    accomplished with the original request.

This commit is meant to explore enabling CNAME-lookup
by default for the next stable release while:

- Eliminating a development burden by removing the
  need to create a new filtering syntax to deal with
  undesirable CNAME-cloaked hostnames

- Eliminating a filter list maintainer burden by
  removing the need to find/deal with all base
  domains which engage in undesirable CNAME-cloaked
  hostnames

The hope is that the approach implemented in this
commit should require at most a few unbreak rules
with no further need for special filtering syntax
or filter list maintance efforts.
