Description

AbortSignal is a standard interface for canceling requests, and axois also support it. It would be good if we can manage slack requests using standard interface.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the @slack/web-api package and its request options to locate where cancellation support belongs. Read the linked AbortSignal and Axios cancellation documentation, then review the package's existing tests before adding coverage. Done means @slack/web-api requests accept and honor an AbortSignal.
