[whatwg] Accept header

The way service workers work is that only headers set at the API-level
will be exposed to service workers. E.g. Host is not exposed as the
network-level takes care of that (and you can simply use request.url
for it).

Per

  https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/issues/303
  https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/issues/348

it would be desirable to have Accept / Accept-Language be set by APIs,
such as <img>. XMLHttpRequest already does this (unless a developer
added those headers), see http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/

Any idea how to best define this Ian?

If we are eventually going to expose something like a "Fetch" object
for each API that can issue a fetch it would seem best if these
details were defined at the API-level.

I guess for now I'll add some notes to the network-level bits of Fetch
to indicate Accept / Accept-Language cannot be set at that point by
the user agent.
