fetch() upload streaming

Fetch provides a generic definition of Request and Response objects (and other things involved with network requests). This is a feature which lets web developers make a fetch with a ReadableStream body.

Traditionally uploading byte arrays were implemented on WebSocket but it has made client/server code messy. Fetch upload streaming makes that simpler.
