Previously all browser globals were allowed to be used anywhere by
ESLint because we had set the `env` property to `browser` in the ESLint
config. This has made it easy to accidentally use browser globals
(e.g. #8338), so it has been removed. Instead we now have a short list
of allowed globals.
All browser globals are now accessed as properties on `window`.
Unfortunately this change resulted in a few different confusing unit
test errors, as some of our unit tests setup assumed that a particular
global would be used via `window` or `global`. In particular,
`window.fetch` didn't work correctly because it wasn't patched by the
AbortController polyfill (only `global.fetch` was being patched).
The `jsdom-global` package we were using complicated matters by setting
all of the JSDOM `window` properties directly on `global`, overwriting
the `AbortController` for example.
The `helpers.js` test setup module has been simplified somewhat by
removing `jsdom-global` and constructing the JSDOM instance manually.
The JSDOM window is set on `window`, and a few properties are set on
`global` as well as needed by various dependencies. `node-fetch` and
the AbortController polyfill/patch now work as expected as well,
though `fetch` is only available on `window` now.
