Apply some limits on fetching until stream is read

Project Member Reported by jakearchibald@chromium.org, Jun 5 2017

Issue description

https://fetch-flow-control-demo.glitch.me/

If I click "fetch" the resource keeps downloading and download, even though I haven't read the body. Is this something we could/should do something about?

Maybe it should only buffer some amount until something starts reading the stream.
 
Safari behaves the same way as we do.
Jake, is this a dup of issue 535793?

Comment 3 by ricea@chromium.org, Jun 6 2017

I believe flow control for fetch streams still only works if the request contains a Cache-Control header like:

Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store

Fixing this limitation is blocked on  issue 472740 .
