Re: [whatwg/fetch] Clarification of Body package data algorithm with bytes, FormData and multipart/form-data MIME type (#392)

See also https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16909. It's a known issue and thus far nobody has taken the time to solve it once and for all. Perhaps I can convince you to solve it for the web?

What we need is basically a test suite and two algorithms (decode/encode) and then convince all implementations to align with each other over time. While that happens the test suite and two algorithms will likely need to be updated to take into account implementation feedback and such.

I'm not entirely sure what the best place is for these algorithms, but either XMLHttpRequest (since it defines the `FormData` object) or HTML (since it defines forms) seems like a good fit. Perhaps the former is a little better since we also coupled the `URLSearchParams` object and application/x-www-form-urlencoded together in URL.
