This PR adds documentation in doc/api/globals.md describing how Node.js fetch() differs from the standard Fetch API.

Notable differences:

  • new Response(asyncIterable) is supported, which is not in the standard.
  • Cookies are not automatically handled.
  • The forbidden headers list is not enforced.
  • Other subtle differences may exist; consult the implementation details.

Fixes: #52163
