Re: [whatwg/encoding] " push a copy of input " (#92)

I think if we had a detach API that would encourage implementations to use this "hold a reference to the original buffer" implementation style, which just seems like a bad idea:

```javascript
doSomethingWithText(decoder.decode(huge200MBbuffer, {stream: true}));
await goAwayAndHaveACupOfCoffee();
```

Backtracking to the start of the character when it is split may be a good implementation strategy, but in the worst case you just have to copy 3 bytes into scratch space to avoid holding the buffer around.
