LibWeb: Add a basic content filter (ad blocking!) :^)

Browse source 
This patch adds a global (per-process) filter list to LibWeb that is
used to filter all outgoing resource load requests.

Basically we check the URL against a list of filter patterns and if
it's a match for any one of them, we immediately fail the load.

The filter list is a simple text file:

    ~/.config/BrowserContentFilters.txt

It's one filter per line and they are simple glob filters for now,
with implicit asterisks (*) at the start and end of the line.
