feat(experimental): option to polyfill fetch using undici in Node.js <18 (#40318)
This PR adds a new `experimental.enableUndici` option to let the
developer switch from `next-fetch` to `undici` as the underlying
polyfill for `fetch` in Node.js.

In the current implementation, Next.js makes sure that `fetch` is always
available by using `node-fetch`. However, we do not polyfill in Node.js
18+, since those versions come with their own `fetch` implementation
already, built-in.

Node.js 18+ uses `undici` under the hood, so letting the developer use
`undici` earlier could make the migration easier later on.

Eventually, we hope to be able to stop polyfilling `fetch` in an
upcoming major version of Next.js, shipping less code.
