Currently you can cancel using `AbortSignal`, at any time basically, even after `request()` has resolved. I find that a bit confusing.

We would like to be able to cancel a specific wake lock (they are refcounted) or all of that type.

Another option would be to have a `release()` method on each `WakeLock` instance, potentially with an argument to release all types of that wake lock in use by the current page. Then you can always create a new WakeLock instance and cancel all.
