Add support for custom resource folders

Created by: Eissturmvogel

Loading custom resources from a folder specified in addon options by user. Depends on resources.js paths, so its only for adding new versions of supported resources at the moment.

Hi @Eissturmvogel and first of all many thanks for your contribution! You might be wondering why I haven't responded to this earlier. The answer is, I'm (still) not sure what to do with this. Not because I do not like the idea of custom resources, but because this add-on is currently being rewritten.

Mozilla will be dropping support for non-WebExtensions in Firefox 57. This means that introducing this feature now, would mean that we would have to take it out in the next version. However, once the port is finished (and stable), we could definitely look into the possibilities of introducing it there.

If we manage to implement it in the new version, I would be happy to use your contribution to bring the same feature to Firefox < 57 and, more importantly, alternative browsers (like Pale Moon).

changed title from Allow custom resource versions from user specific folder to Add support for custom resource folders

added denied request labels

Hi again. Given that, nowadays, extensions are required to explicitly declare any web accessible resources in their manifests, I still see no way of moving this forward. Nonetheless, many thanks for the suggestion and prototype; much appreciated!
