feat: Implemented Flattr API [#1370]

Thomas Greiner requested to merge ThomasGreiner-eyeo/abp/ui/adblockplus:ui_1370 into feature-1370-flattr-api

This MR contains the following changes:

  • Added src/bypass/.
    • Added content script for exposing public API via DOM events.
    • Added background script to authenticate incoming requests.
    • Updated build scripts accordingly.
  • Added "premium.getAuthPayload" trusted message.
  • Added getAuthPayload() function to src/premium/.
  • Added "bypass_authorizedKeys" preference to make the feature easier to test.
  • Added browser.d.ts file to avoid having to declare the global in each file - similar to ext.d.ts.
    • Adjusted js/api/ modules accordingly.

Additionally, it includes a Firefox-specific fix.

It implements the following flow based on Adblock Plus 3.16.3rc:

  • (website)
    "flattr-request-payload" event
  • content: bypass
    "premium.getAuthPayload" message
  • background: bypass
  • background: premium
    "premium_license_check_url" HTTP request
  • (server)

Note that these changes are based on 3.16.x, so the content script is generated using npm-dollar and rollup. This means that we'll need to change that to be done using webpack when we rebase those changes onto next.
