Web API compatible [fetch API][] for nodejs.

Comparison to Alternatives

#### [node-fetch][]

The reason this fork exists is because [node-fetch][] chooses to compromise
Web API compatibility and by using nodejs native [Readable][] stream. They way
they put it is:

>
> - Make conscious trade-off when following [WHATWG fetch spec][whatwg-fetch] and stream spec implementation details, document known differences.
> - Use native Node streams for body, on both request and response.
>

We found these incompatibility to be really problematic when sharing code
across nodejs and browser rutimes. This library uses [@web-std/stream][] instead.
