Integrate Priority Hints

- Renames the request priority concept to internal priority and "adds" priority for usage by APIs.
- Adds a new priority member to RequestInit for specifying a priority hint.

These changes combined with whatwg/html#8470 obsolete the Priority Hints specification: https://wicg.github.io/priority-hints/.

Tests: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/4097472.

Fixes #1319.
