Upgrade to node-fetch 3.x using node-fetch-cjs?

[valerieernst]

We're running into issues that are solved by node-fetch/node-fetch#671, which is part of the node-fetch 3.0.0 release.

I read through #118 and understand upgrading node-fetch to v3.x+ isn't on the short term roadmap.

Is there any consideration to upgrading using https://github.com/touchifyapp/node-fetch-cjs? Seems like it could be an easier upgrade path.

If it's something you're considering, I'm happy to help out/put up a PR!

fyi. it's also considerable easy to load node-fetch@3 from cjs using something like async import that works from cjs as well.

const fetch = (...args) => import('node-fetch').then(({default: fetch}) => fetch(...args));

the disadvantage would be that you can't have sync access to Request/Response/Headers etc.
also, node-fetch is kind of being replaced with the built in fetch from NodeJS v18.
so packages like this will not be needed anymore. Just need to update to a newer NodeJS version.

Alternatively, we could move to https://github.com/unjs/node-fetch-native.
