Streaming byte and bit stream reader and writer. Extracted from aurora.js.

A BufferList is represents a linked list of byte buffers. It manages the current total length of the list and is used by the Stream class internally.

The StreamReader class reads a stream of binary data backed by a BufferList. StreamReader handles the complexity of reading various types of values from a binary data stream for you, including issues regarding the native endianness of the platform.

The BitstreamReader class wraps a StreamReader and adds methods to read data on an individual bit level.

The StreamWriter class writes various binary data types to a writable stream.

The BitstreamWriter class wraps a StreamWriter, and adds methods to write data on an individual bit level.
