[whatwg/fetch] Delay network errors to prevent port scanning (#338)

See https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/96/slides/slides-96-saag-1.pdf for details.

I'm not entirely sure what the best way to do this is. Perhaps just include a recommendation somewhere that all network errors are delayed to make port scanning harder.

(Note that although the slides mention WebSocket, it's likely to be more generally applicable.)

Reportedly Firefox already throttles network errors.
