[CSS] fix of rules application ordering;
Sciter.parseValue() fix of error generation on erroneous inputs;

4.4.8.30

New features:

JS extended by Length, Duration and Angle units.

ES2017 introduced numbers with units already, like BigInt:
```
const maxSafeInteger = 9007199254740991n;
```
This version adds more number units:
- lengths: 100px, 12pt, 1em, ...
- durations: 20ms, 2s
- angles: 90deg, 0.5rad, 1turn, ...

sciter.parseValue(string): any

That's "JSON++" parser - parses the string using JSON extended by CSS syntax rules, this is valid JSON++ format:

  // Note: comments are supported in JSON++: 
  {
    date: 2020-10-11; // date literal
    width: 200px; // length literal;
    number: 42; // guess what?
    // Note: names may have '-' in them
    array-plain: [1,2,3,4]; // plain JS array
    array-list: 1 2 3 4, 5 6 7 8; // JS [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8]]
    // name tokens are parsed to strings:
    foo: incredible; // JSON eq. "foo": "incredible"
  }

Event.platformKeyCode - reports native key code like wParam in WM_KEYDOWN on Windows.
physicalDevicePixelRatio - [MacOS] "retina" pixel ratio, on other platforms it is 1.

css selectors: :last-of-type, :first-of-type, :only-of-type
[JS] implementation of
- console.assert(expr,fmt, ...)
- console.assert(expr,{fields...})
Note that in Sciter console.assert throws error if expr is falsy - in browsers console.assert() just prints stuff to console.
- sdk.js/widgets/tabs/ sample - that <tabs> thing.

Experimental support of system menus:

   <menu role="window-menu">
     <li>File
         <menu>
            <li accesskey="^N">New</li>
            <li accesskey="^O">Open</li>
            <hr/>
            <li accesskey="Q">Quit</li>
         </menu>
     </li>
     ...
   </menu>

On Windows this creates native menu bar in the window. On MacOS it populates application menu bar. On Linux - not ready yet.

Note for window-frame != "standard" the menu is invisible but still makes sense as global hotkeys table.

For the demo see integration project in SDK.
