Re: [whatwg/fetch] Block 'ftp:' requests from non-'ftp:' clients. (#464)

@domenic: Folks still use the browser to download resources from FTP, and navigate FTP servers. *shrug* Chrome's network team is interested in moving FTP support out of the browser and into something else (bundled extension/ChromeOS app, perhaps?), so I think the end goal is indeed to disallow navigation to `ftp:`. Killing off subresource requests is a necessary step to give them the ability to make that change, but I don't think it's on their short-term roadmap.
