Make the creation of _allow_ rules in panel an opt-in feature
There have been too many examples out there of users opting-in to "I am an advanced user" and yet still misusing dynamic filtering by creating _allow_ rules where _noop_ rules should be used. Creating _allow_ rules has serious consequences as these override blocking static filters and can potentially disable other advanced filtering ability such as HTML filtering and scriptlet injection -- often used to deal with anti-blocker mechanisms. The ability to point-and-click to create _allow_ rules from the popup panel is no longer allowed by default. An new advanced setting has been added to enable the ability to create _allow_ rules from the popup panel, `popupPanelGodMode`, which default to `false`. Set to `true` to restore ability to set _allow_ rules from popup panel. Since the creation of _allow_ rules is especially useful to filter list authors, to diagnose and narrow down site breakage as a result of problematic blocking filter, the creation of _allow_ rules will still be available when the advanced setting `filterAuthorMode` is `true`. This change is probably going to be problematic to all those users who were misusing dynamic filtering by creating _allow_ rules instead of _noop_ rules -- but the breakage is going to bring their misusing to their attention, a positive outcome.
