Re: [whatwg/fetch] Double-keyed connection pools (#917)

I think it makes sense to do this for anti-tracking purposes and Firefox will likely do this. This should be relatively straightforward to add once #904 is fixed.

Note that the partitioning of the HTTP cache has another motivation, namely thwarting XSLeaks-style of attacks (except for those through popups, sites will need to use COOP to thwart those). Those seem slightly less applicable here, though perhaps timing attacks on connection setup are feasible? (There is also a connection exhaustion attack, due to there being a global limit.)
