HIQaH! QaH! TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of Adding AbortSignal option to addEventListener.

This feature adds a new AbortSignal option, named "signal", to the options parameter of addEventListener. This new option can be used to remove the event listener with an AbortController by calling abort(). More context: https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/911
