Re: [whatwg/streams] Specify ReadableStream.[[Transfer]] (#623)

I've been thinking about it a bit. The transferred stream ends up with a different strategy. This is weird. But I think it's unavoidable.

For byte streams it's not too bad. The HWM may be different from the original stream. It's attractive to me to let the browser set that to some "optimal" value which depends on the transfer overhead.

For other streams I guess we just end up with the equivalent of CountQueuingStrategy(1). Not great.

We could recognise the original value CountQueuingStrategy.prototype.size and ByteLengthQueuingStrategy.prototype.size and treat them specially. That seems like such a terrible idea that I don't want to pursue it.
