5601 - fix next.js builds on node v16

[luu-alex]

Description

#5601
this PR fixes builds on next.js when being built with node v16, I believe global.request was being changed due to a polyfill issue and was giving an error TypeError: Cannot set property Request of # which has only a getter and its due to require('abortcontroller-polyfill/dist/polyfill-patch-fetch')

The solution is to only include require('abortcontroller-polyfill/dist/polyfill-patch-fetch') when abortController is not defined globally. I believe next.js provides their own global variables and would run into an error when Request was being polyfilled.

Please include a summary of the changes and be sure to follow our Contribution Guidelines.
