Add-ons to WebExtensions preparation guide for the Firefox 57 "Quantum" upgrade.

I thought it would be a good idea to make together a quick add-ons to web extensions guide and be ready for the Firefox Quantum upgrade tomorrow.

I will begin with important security and privacy addons and their webextension status and what I find out so far.

Security and Privacy addons status:

• HTTPS Everywhere -> WebExtension available
• uBlock Origin -> WebExtension available
• Decentraleyes -> WebExtension available
• uMatrix -> WebExtension available
• Privacy Badger -> WebExtension available
• Random Agent Spoofer -> Support is stopping with Firefox 57. User-Agent Switcher is a webExtension alternative.
• Self-Destructing Cookies -> Not ready for Quantum at this time. Cookie AutoDelete is a WebExtension alternative.
• NoScript -> The author is apparently working on a WebExtension version but it's not ready yet according to a dedicated thread about this on the NoScript forum.
• RefControl -> Referrer Control/Smart Referrer

Mainstream popular addons status:

• Reddit Enhancement Suite -> WebExtension available
• Greasemonkey -> WebExtension Available or Violentmonkey

Any new relevant informations or corrections to improve this guide will be welcome. I will update this guide as often as possible. Thank you!
