Add an `AbortController` to `FormChecker.delayedCheck`

[timja]

What feature do you want to see added?

When doing lots of checkers they are serialised in a queue one by one. If you take an action that invalidates the existing ones you have no way of aborting them.

jenkins/war/src/main/webapp/scripts/hudson-behavior.js

Line 226 in 960dc7d

delayedCheck: function (url, method, target) {

e.g. in role strategy I've added a filter. I've added 101 users, if I go to the second page (client side change only), I can't abort the first 100 and have to wait for all 100 requests.

I've worked around by making by own delayed checker: https://github.com/timja/role-strategy-plugin/blob/4323c623be6d7d0eec4ce7528c1da3f8d4adf6e3/src/main/webapp/js/tableManage.js#L462-L510

Hello @timja! I'm interested in contributing to this.

I understand the goal is to implement AbortController in FormChecker.delayedCheck to allow cancelling outdated requests, similar to the workaround you implemented in the role-strategy-plugin.

Could you please assign this issue to me?

We don't generally assign issues to those who are not maintainers. It has not worked well in the past.

You're welcome to start working on this and open a pull request when you have a fix working locally.

You will need to provide evidence of testing and the code being executed, ideally a video demonstrating it working.
