Re: [whatwg/encoding] Rename Encoding's "streams" to "token queues" (#215)

Per an IRC discussion, I'm renaming streams / token queues to I/O queues.

With regard to I/O queue being (by the conversations earlier in this thread) a subtype of list, @domenic pointed to HTML's [task queue](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#task-queue), which is defined as a subtype of set. I additionally pointed that the "prepend" algorithm (the only thing that makes I/O queue not a subtype of queue) is an internal implementation detail of the spec, as evidenced by the "Implementation considerations" section and by the decision earlier in this thread that we should not export that operation.
