Deferred fetching
Add a JS-exposed function to request a deferred fetch. A deferred fetch would be invoked in one of two scenarios: - The document is destroyed (the fetch group is terminated) - The document is backgrounded (the fetch group is deactivated) and not restored after a certain time. A few constraints: - Deferred fetch body sizes are limited to 64KB per origin. Exceeding this would immediately reject with a QuotaExceeded. - Request body streams are not allowed. A request body, if exists, has to be a byte sequence. The JS function is called `requestDeferredFetch` but that's bikesheddable. See WICG/pending-beacon#70
