@Synzvato Maybe you could switch to a regular schedule to reevaluate versions of libraries? Something like adding new versions of all scripts once every two months, and phasing out old versions depending on the usage statistics in the same turn.
This PR adds jQuery 3, which is the latest jQuery version [...] required by Bootstrap 4. According to w3techs, jQuery 3.1.0, 3.1.1 and 3.2.1 are the top 3 most used jQuery 3 versions.
@ExE-Boss Thanks for the contribution, and for taking the W3Techs statistics into account. I will be able to take a closer look at this, once (top-priority) issue #16 has been completely resolved.

@Xorok Thanks for weighing in. That actually is the current approach. Resource additions have been postponed, in order to protect the stability of the extension. Currently, issue #16 affects only a handful of websites. Owners who use up-to-date dependencies, are more likely to implement security features.
As of now, the majority of websites (97,5%) that use jQuery, have not yet migrated to jQuery 3. This means that there is sufficient time to fix the underlying problems. The prototypes are looking promising, and any status updates will be posted inside of issue #16. I hope this explains the methodology.

Also, according to w3techs, jQuery 3.3.1 is now the most used jQuery 3 release, so I added it as well.
P.S.: GitLab is having issues with updating the description of this Merge Request, so I can’t add this to it.
