Re: [whatwg/fetch] Remove "font" from initiator type value list (PR #1837)

> I think this needs to be reviewed by @noamr. It also seems rather weird to me that we'd use "css" instead of "font". If we ever add fetching of fonts elsewhere that will surely become quite confusing.

But that's the point of initiators... A css style fetching a font would use the `css` initiator type. A different initiator would use a different initiator type.

However, the `font` initiator type is used by [IFT](https://w3c.github.io/IFT/Overview.html) so I think it shouldn't be removed.
