Re: [whatwg/fetch] Add TAO check (#955)

Re: timing same-origin redirects, this is already possible so I don't think there's any danger if TAO isn't required to expose timing information in this case.

For example, you can time the redirect via Fetch's `redirect: 'manual'` ([example](https://arturjanc.com/time-same-origin-redirect.html)) or by CSP's `SecurityPolicyViolationEvent` if you issue a cross-origin redirect that violates your policy.

Even if this wasn't possible, I don't think the risk of timing is comparable to the risk of directly exposing the `Location` value. So, basically, exposing timing information for all same-origin requests doesn't seem particularly scary to me (or, scary at all).
