Description

We are planning to add a user interface for the webcompat exceptions service. See design here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mjdx3Rk2TCXbJRzpYkb3ieGm2MhFXxf4zTGEEropzuY/edit#heading=h.qiew63uicrsj

Suggested QA testing

The webcompat exceptions service UI is disabled by default behind brave://flags/#brave-webcompat-exceptions-service

Once it is enabled, you can visit any web page that calls some fingerprintable APIs. To see the new UI, go to "Advanced controls" under the per-site Shields menu, and click the integer next to "Block fingerprinting" toggle. There should be a menu with some number of toggle switches. For example, https://browserleaks.com/javascript shows 9 fingerprintable APIs that have been called from that website.

Now you can click individual toggle switches to enable/disable specific fingerprinting protections. The web page should reload after each toggle event. Because fingerprinting protections typically change the value that a Web API returns to a page, toggling those individual switches will change value for items displayed on https://browserleaks.com/javascript.

(Changes due to the N/A items are not visible for me on browserleaks.com, on macOS.)
