Support for Fetch API

[geiseri]

Right now it seems that Axios is not interested in supporting the Fetch API standard. While it is quite new and not widely supported it has several key features for PWAs that help with offline first activities and caching API calls. It also has support for Blobs which are becoming more popular for texture assets. From the API it doesn't look like there are a lot of dependencies on the behaviors of axios, but the API is different enough that it might make it hard to have a drop-in replacement. Thoughts?

At the moment the usage of axios is "hard coded" in vuex-rest-api. Of course it would be possible to implement interfaces and make it possible to also use the fetch API. I'll have to research how far this code change would benefit vuex-rest-api.

I'll also consider substituting axios with the fetch API if this makes sense.

I did a cursory look and it seemed like it might be a bit more invasive. On the plus side with a polyfill Fetch could become the default and no lose any browser support. The key thing I need would be the ability to support offline and background sync.

Thanks for your additional feedback.
