Re: [whatwg/dom] Consider adding AbortController.prototype.follow(signal) (#920)

> @MattiasBuelens `destroy` on a controller doesn't necessarily mean its associated signal and its listeners can be disposed. I explained this some [here](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/35990#issuecomment-723218855).

I see. For my use cases, a child signal following a parent signal never needs to "outlive" its parent signal, so it's fine for me to destroy the parent signal (and therefore all links with child signals) once I'm done with it. But I understand that this may not apply to all use cases, and a more general solution would be desirable.
