Improve disable-newtab-links - allow to prevent specific link #579

Description

@AdamWr

Currently it prevents opening new tabs and windows only if there is target attribute in element.
Sometimes target attribute can be used in legitimate links, so I think that it would be nice to have an option to prevent only specific links.
Something similar like in prevent-window-open with ability to use ! as negation - https://github.com/AdguardTeam/Scriptlets/blob/master/wiki/about-scriptlets.md#prevent-window-open

Example case:

function simulateModifiedClick(url) {
    try {
        const link = document.createElement("a");
        link.href = url;
        link.rel = "noopener";

        link.onclick = e => e.stopPropagation();
        document.body.appendChild(link);

        link.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent("click", {
            bubbles: true,
            cancelable: true,
            view: window,
            ctrlKey: true,
            metaKey: true,
            button: 0
        }));

        link.remove();
    } catch {
        // Do nothing
    }
}
simulateModifiedClick('test');

So for instance, #%#//scriptlet('disable-newtab-links', 'test') should allow to prevent all links with test.
