Hmm, wondering if not we should try to fix the real problem that is that we return a custom AbortError message, it should rather be a DOMException

// Browser test:
ctrl = new AbortController() 
ctrl.abort()
fetch('/', ctrl).catch(console.log) 
// DOMException { 
//   name: AbortError,
//   code: 20,
//   message: "Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'Window': The user aborted a request." 
// }

We could optionally start to depend on node-domexception. it's already included by another sub dependency of ours (fetch-blob).
