Re: [whatwg/dom] Timeout AbortSignal (or AbortController) that gets input from the operation (Issue #1082)

I think having a simple `TimeoutAbortController` type would be nice, but not critical.

```js
class TimeoutAbortController extends AbortController { /* ... */ }

auto controller = new TimeoutAbortController(10 * 1000);
useSignalSomewhere(controller.signal);

// Call reset() to reset the timer.
controller.reset();

// TimeoutAbortController extends from AbortController, so still possible to call abort() directly.
controller.abort();
```
This would simplify some of the cases motivating the `AbortSignal.any()` discussion also, as the `signal` from a `TimeoutAbortController` could be triggered in two ways: either by the timeout or by explicitly calling `abort()`.
