Closes #3988

Description

Adds a brief subsection introducing AbortSignal.timeout() to the "Fetch: Abort" article.

Changes Made

  • Added the ### AbortSignal.timeout() subsection before the scalability section.
  • Included a code snippet demonstrating its usage with fetch.
  • Added a comment and condition to highlight that this method throws a TimeoutError rather than an AbortError.

Technical Rationale

While the manual setTimeout approach is crucial for understanding how the AbortController triggers signals, AbortSignal.timeout() is the modern standard for handling request timeouts. Including this keeps the tutorial up-to-date with current industry best practices.
