Modify response

Fetch and modify response properties which are immutable by creating a copy first.

* @param {string} headerNameSrc Header to get the new value from
* @param {string} headerNameDst Header to set based off of value in src

* Response and pass modified status or statusText in the ResponseInit
* object. Response headers can be modified through the headers `set` method.
