Re: [whatwg/encoding] TextEncoder#encode - write to existing Uint8Array (#69)

Yep, legit request we've heard from potential users before. I don't know what the pattern should be like, or if it should be done at this level (new/extended method) or if we should add Stream support and there should be a generic stream-into-buffer mechanism.

With the `write()` proposal above, we'd want to return the amount of data consumed (since the encoder won't buffer arbitrary amounts itself) and amount written. That also sounds like a common element of this sort of pattern. (And also the kind of thing streams are good at, so hoping there's a generic solution.)
