Support aborting

[techniq]

Now that fetch supports aborting using AbortController via a signal, it would be nice if we did as well. Currently we track whether the component is mounted and not call setState, but properly cancelling the fetch request would be better, especially since it's considered an anti-pattern

Some details:

It's only supported in recent green browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (desktop) and not IE, iOS Safari (currently) so we will need to support opting in / polyfiling.

A quick search returned this polyfill, and Netflix's yetch (which you should be able to pass to the fetchFunction prop

Maybe this is an opt-in via cancellable prop, and we continue to track mounted otherwise.

Not sure if fetch-mock supports testing aborting, or if this is ultimately just handled by node-fetch
