[whatwg/fetch] fetch() is unclear on which realm's Request it uses (#777)

https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/commit-snapshots/e6cbef27724dd6111d1646898ef4f3f9ad56740b/#fetch-method

> Let requestObject be the result of invoking the initial value of Request as constructor with input and init as arguments\. If this throws an exception, reject p with it and return p

Which realm does the Request constructor come from?

I think we want it to be the relevant realm of this WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope object. That seems most in line with our plan in https://github.com/heycam/webidl/issues/135, although that is about slightly different phrasing ("a new Response" vs. this line's "invoking the initial value of Request as constructor").

BTW, editorial issues with this sentence:

- "as constructor" -> "as a constructor"
- Missing period
- "Request" links to the class, but should probably link to the constructor.
