First steps towards support for bugzilla.gnome.org

After return from Guadec_ I was greatly encouraged by the interest
I've met there. I thought on the spot about making a specific child
object for Gnome bugzilla (similar to MozillaBugzilla), which would
liquidate unnecessary buttons from bugzilla. However, another request
I've got was from Luis_ and he asked me to get an ability to eliminate
unnecessary buttons so he can use bugzilla for his MoFo legal work
(which is an interesting idea in itself ;)).
In the end I have decided that it would be actually easy to keep all
business logic still in JSON file (and not having some
``if (this.hostname === "bugzilla.gnome.org")`` hardwired in the code).
So with the current (`git`_, unreleased) version you can add this bit of
code into configData of your JSON file::
"killNodes": {
"bugzilla.gnome.org": [
"stocklinks", true
]
},
and the script will kill element with id ``'stocklinks'`` upon the
startup. For Luis, instead of one string, it could be an array with more
IDs. So this is the current look of bugzilla.gnome.org in my Firefox

However, while testing the script I found that bgo is still very heavily
modified (although apparently not `an obsolete one anymore`_) and my
script breaks somewhere. I have fixed one inconsistency (apparently,
``'mailto:'`` is not good enough for their email addresses ;)), but
there is still something which breaks generation of new buttons. I'll
work on it when I can.
