Re: [whatwg/fetch] Expose Stream Watermarks (#689)

@ricea 
> @benjamingr You can hack something together using a mixture of Range requests and fetch abort, but it won't be pretty.

Range requests require support from the origin server and it would still mean multiple requests (which I'd rather avoid), exposing the watermarks or having `fetch` respect backpressure would either solve my case - which I believe represents a rather common one and the whole reason we have streams (to read part of the content and not all of it and control how much is read).
