fetch-nodeshim 0.419 changes

Adds configurable connectTimeout to override the connection timeout.
0.4.9release notes

The default connection timeout is now also 30s when the request Accept header contains text/html.
0.4.9release notes
The socket is unrefed for a more limited state, refed while the body is being read, and unrefed again when reading stops.
0.4.4release notes
Adds a sane default timeout to http.request.
0.4.1release notes
Automatically creates and uses agents when HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, or NO_PROXY is set.
0.4.0release notes

Header casing is preserved when headers are passed as a tuple list or dictionary rather than as a Headers object.
0.4.10release notes
Fixes fetch(new Request(...), init) so that init takes precedence over the request.
0.4.8release notes
Fixes Set-Cookie casing on older Node versions.
0.4.7release notes
For string inputs, an already-set Content-Type is no longer overridden.
0.4.5release notes
Sets Content-Length: 0 when a PATCH response body is null.
0.4.3release notes
Propagates errors for duplex request/response streams and ensures early errors reach the Response stream.
0.4.3release notes
Requests that time out now issue an explicit ETIMEDOUT.
0.4.3release notes
Protects against a missing Symbol.toStringTag.
0.4.3release notes
Fixes a typo in NO_PROXY construction.
0.4.3release notes
Resets requestOptions.agent on retry or redirect.
0.4.3release notes
Fixes Set-Cookie list handling by capturing values with Headers#append.
0.4.3release notes
The incoming socket is unreferenced when the timeout is disabled, preventing body streams that never start from keeping processes alive.
0.4.2release notes
Prevents an outright error when the flag is set and Request, Response, FormData, and Headers are unavailable globally.
0.4.0release notes
