Implement adblocker #188

Besides being a nice feature, adblock allows us to repel a lot of crap and 
speed the browser up.

I´d suggest to not waste much time on such an adblock, as this "function" is 
already implemented inside the Mac OS (better go for better JavaScript with 
your time *g*). Simply use the control panel TCP/IP, there is the possibility 
to load a hostfile. This means a simple textfile with the URLs redirected to 
0.0.0.0 For example:

adsmart.com CNAME 0.0.0.0
adsmart.net CNAME 0.0.0.0

We coudl together write such an hostfile, get all the adfarms at this textfile, 
and include such improved hostfiles with every new Classilla. For me personally 
that "hostfile feature" makes it possible to include as well FB, google and 
others that crawl for data everywhere. ;)
