Description
Currently a request may be retried up to 5 times. It should be possible to cancel a request outright without having to exhaust the maximum number of retries.
Similarly, it should be possible to cancel a request that hangs (`fetch` doesn't have a default timeout).

Research direction
Locate the eth-json-rpc-middleware package and its fetch retry and request-handling entry points. Determine how cancellation should be exposed and verified; done means a request can be cancelled without exhausting retries and a hanging fetch can also be cancelled.
