Re: [whatwg/encoding] Add Streams support (#72)

I am leaning slightly towards the "overloaded class" approach because it will look better on a slide. In other words, this syntax:

```javascript
var stringReadable = byteReadable.pipeThrough(new TextDecoder());
```

with `.decode()` throwing an exception if called when the stream is in use.

I think I can spec it relatively simply by delegating to a TransformStream. Whether or not to inherit from TransformStream can then be postponed to a separate discussion.

The spec for TransformStream is not ready yet, so we don't need to make a decision immediately. I expect it will be ready in the first half of November.

Incidentally, I made minor updates to the Stream patch at http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/ricea/encoding-streams/blob/master/patch.html, however it still uses the `TransformStream.stream()` syntax.
