Major changes

- If the Python `adblock` library is available, it is now used to
integrate Brave's Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking based on
ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList).
If it is unavailable, qutebrowser falls back to host-blocking, i.e. the same
blocking technique it used before this release. As part of this, various
settings got renamed, see "Changed" below.
**Note: If the `adblock` dependency is available, qutebrowser will ignore
custom host blocking** via the `blocked-hosts` config file or `file:///` URLs
supplied as host blocking lists. You will need to either migrate those to
ABP-like lists, or set `content.blocking.method` to `both`.
- Various dependency upgrades - a quick checklist for packagers (see "Changed"
below for details):
* Ensure you're providing at least Python 3.6.1.

`importlib.resources` module for Python 3.7 and 3.8 is missing the needed APIs,

- The former dependency on the `attrs`/`attr` package is now dropped in favour
of `dataclasses` in the Python standard library. On Python 3.6, a new

- The former dependency on the `pypeg2` package is now dropped. This might cause
some changes for certain corner-cases for suggested filenames when downloading
files with the QtWebKit backend.
