Docs on migrating from request to fetch?

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

Overview

👋 Coming over from Munter/hyperlink#200: I'd like to migrate hyperlink over to using native fetch(). It looks pretty straightforward except for two request() options:

• gzip
• strictSSL

gzip looks like it can be dropped:

request/README.md

Lines 1038 to 1039 in 3c0cddc

	For backwards-compatibility, response compression is not supported by default.
	To accept gzip-compressed responses, set the `gzip` option to `true`. Note

...but strictSSL I don't understand how it's different from fetch():

request/README.md

Line 842 in 3c0cddc

- `strictSSL` - if `true`, requires SSL certificates be valid. **Note:** to use your own certificate authority, you need to specify an agent that was created with that CA as an option.

Could we please have a guide on how to migrate off some of these non-standard properties? I think it'd be helpful for anybody who, like me, isn't familiar with request and is wondering about their nuances.

Note that this is not the same as what's currently in #3143. That's a summary table of alternative libraries that doesn't go into depth.

strictSSL is fairly straight forward. If you search this repo for strictSSL, you'll find this:

if (self.strictSSL === false) {
    self.rejectUnauthorized = false

rejectUnauthorized is a node tls option.
