[meta] ChimeraScript

Background

Implement a minimally modified JavaScript dialect that can be compiled down to asm.js with relatively little effort. This compiled code should run in any modern browser and be very fast in at least the newest Firefox and Chrome versions. The idea here is to rewrite at least filterClasses.js, subscriptionClasses.js, filterStorage.js, matcher.js and elemHide.js to improve performance and memory efficiency of our core code.
