Re: [whatwg/dom] AbortController.prototype.timeout and AbortController.prototype.cancel (Issue #1039)

`close()` definitely works over `cancel()`

And I could get on board with `follow` with the exception that it's not much better/different than simply attaching an event listener to the signal.

```js
class TimeoutAbortController extends AbortController {
  #timer;

  static #abort() { this.abort(this.#timer.reason); }

  timeout(delay) {
    this.#timer = AbortSignal.timeout(delay);
    this.#timer.addEventListener('abort', this.#abort, { once: true });
  }

  close() {
    this.#timer?.removeEventListener('abort', this.#abort);
    this.#timer = undefined;
    super.close();
  }
}
```

`close()` here is still useful, but the `follow()` feels superfluous.
