IE11 fetch

See merge request !4

The fetch() function is a Promise-based mechanism for programmatically making web requests in the browser. This project is a polyfill that implements a subset of the standard Fetch specification, enough to make fetch a viable replacement for most uses of XMLHttpRequest in traditional web applications.

A new browser technology that we can leverage to solve the aforementioned issue is Abortable Fetch. Abortable fetch relies on a browser specification for AbortController. The controller has a property called signal which we can pass to our fetch as an option (also named signal), and then use this at our later convenience to cancel the request with the controllers abort method.
