Re: [w3c/FileAPI] Streams is hot, FileReader.readAs____ is not (#40)

Blob.toStream() (the concept, not the name) was brought up at TPAC F2F and everyone in the room who had an opinion seemed to be a fan.

Also implies we should do FormData.toStream() (again, the idea not the name) for symmetry with other BodyInit types.

Open question raised in the discussion: do we need to compute the total size synchronously to be able to report progress and populate Content-Length headers? Is that doable, i.e. is the encoded size + separators knowable given data length? Is this compatible with current architectures (i.e. Chrome's browser/renderer process split)?

@annevk - did I miss anything?
