Re: [fetch] fetch() needs to send a */* header (#142)

This was recently discussed on Twitter a bit: https://twitter.com/bagder/status/660770080108711936 apparently curl sends `Accept: */*`, although they are not sure on if it is necessary (anymore?). @mnot says to not do so.

My personal opinion is that `*/*` seems like a reasonable default for `Accept`, as long as it can be overridden by authors to be whatever they want (including removed entirely). Author control over headers in fetch is already crippled and defaulted in a lot of ways if I recall (for security and other reasons), so one more default doesn't seem too bad.
