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

Both https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/179 and https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/180 explain a desire for a timeout, but either the countdown gets reset based on networking activity (new chunk received) or it gets cancelled based on that (server was responsive within the allowed time).

Is that something `fetch()` should offer on its own or is there some decomposition of responsibility that could make sense here, whereby `fetch()` gets access to resetting or cancelling the timer.
