[whatwg/fetch] consider exposing a Request.site getter (#1322)

Currently we expose a `Sec-Fetch-Site` header to servers, but hide this information from service workers.  The `Sec-Fetch-Site` and `origin` headers are not populated until after the FetchEvent is handled by the service worker.  This means the service worker can not reason about whether the incoming request is from a safe same-origin initiator or a potentially hostile cross-site initiator.

To address this we propose to add a `Request.site` getter that returns `same-origin`, `same-site`, or `cross-site`.  The value would be based on the request's internal origin and origin tainting flag.

This was discussed at the recent SW virtual F2F: w3c/ServiceWorker#1604
