lib: disable default memory leak warning for AbortSignal

This change sets the default `kMaxEventTargetListeners` property for
`AbortSignal` instances to 0, disabling the check per default, to enable
users to write isomorphic library code.
If desirable, the max event target listeners check can still be enabled
for individual `AbortSignal` instances by calling `setMaxListeners` on them.
