           Summary: synchronous version of fetch algorithm

It would be nice if the fetch algorithm could be passed a parameter to let it
make fully synchronous requests with no tasks queued. This would allow me to
use it for synchronous XMLHttpRequest.

It would be nice all network related activity could be explained via the fetch
algorithm rather than a bunch of algorithms looking very similar.

(I marked it as P1/critical so I could continue to work on XMLHttpRequest
somewhat sooner.)
