Re: [whatwg/dom] Expose an `aborted` promise on AbortSignal? (#946)

The issue is that sometimes you have a (very) long living signal - a common pattern observed is:

```js
const ac = new AbortController();
process.on('SIGINT', () => ac.abort());

// Use ac around in the project ...
```

I have seen this pattern in Node.js and in browsers (mostly around router navigation).
