[whatwg/fetch] Disallowing `Authorization` in CORS-preflight wildcards is currently not web compatible (Issue #1919)

Lubrsi created an issue (whatwg/fetch#1919)

### What is the issue with the Fetch Standard?

When loading `https://rodericksdentalpartners.portal.dental/`, it makes a CORS-preflight fetch to `
https://p-euw1-d1-rest.portal.dental/api/pusher/auth` with one of the request headers being `Authorization` and the server responds with `access-control-allow-headers: *`.

The current spec disallows this, but Firefox, Chrome and Safari allow it. Firefox is the only one to provide a compatibility warning that it will soon disallow it, but doesn't seem to have seen activity related to this for a couple of years: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1687364
