Re: [whatwg/fetch] Why does Fetch specify a max redirect count of 20? (#576)

FYI, from HTTP 1.1 RFC:

> https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.4
> 
>    A client SHOULD detect and intervene in cyclical redirections (i.e.,
>    "infinite" redirection loops).
> 
>       Note: An earlier version of this specification recommended a
>       maximum of five redirections ([RFC2068], Section 10.3).  Content
>       developers need to be aware that some clients might implement such
>       a fixed limitation.
