Re: [whatwg/fetch] Deferred fetching feedback (Issue #1715)

[copying from Matrix]

The reason why I like `activateAfter`:

The fetch could be activated after the deadline or before, but for different reasons. The timeout duration is like a preference. The UA would activate before the timeout in case of termination or some such, and after the activation timeout for throttling/batching.

The word "timeout" is maybe confusing because it's the opposite of the abort signal's timeout
So `activateAfter` means the same as `activationTimeout` but it's clearer that it's "a timeout after which activation should take place" rather than "A timeout after which activation expires" or something like that.
