51    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
52      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
53      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
54      are provided:
55
56        lsquic_stream_write
57        lsquic_stream_writev
58        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
59
60      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
61      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
62      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
63      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
64      lsquic_stream_writef().
65
66    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
67      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
68      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
69      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
70      by the congestion window.
71
72      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
73      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
74      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
75      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
76      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
77      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
78      their packets out.
79
80      The algorithm is as follows:
81
82      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
83        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
84          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
85            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
86             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
87             much as can be sent.)
88        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
89          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
90      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
91        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
92          queue.
93        - If more scheduling is allowed:
94          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
95            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
96        - If more scheduling is allowed:
97          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
98            queue.
99        - If more scheduling is allowed:
100          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
101            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
102
103      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
104      resource usage.
105
106    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
107      from on_new.
108
109    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
110      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
111      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
112      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
113
114    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
115      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
116
117    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
118      inside a union.
