Re: [whatwg/streams] Make read requests abortable (#1103)

I haven't heard a sufficiently compelling use case for cancelling a single `read()` while leaving other reads pending.

Strictly speaking, if a call to `read()` caused backpressure to be relieved, then cancelling the `read()` should cause backpressure to be re-established, but we have no mechanism to do that.

The fact that this makes byte streams into a special case worries me greatly.
