Re: [fetch] referrer same-origin constraint is a footgun for people trying to "copy" a Request (#245)

> Note that if that's the feature this is a duplicate of #191 where I did point out that new Request(newURL, oldRequest) should largely work too (except that body is missing at the moment). So maybe we just need to wait a little longer.

Right, the issue is that `new Request(newURL, oldRequest)` will blow up given certain values contained in `oldRequest`.  Since its treated like a RequestInit a cross-origin referrer will throw.  A navigate mode will throw.
