Matteo Collina c56cb0947f stream: share webstreams async iterator methods
ReadableStream.prototype.values() built each iterator from an object
literal with a computed symbol-key method plus five closures. Such a
literal is rebuilt through the runtime on every evaluation, costing
close to a microsecond per iterator, which dominates iterating a
short-lived stream.

Move next() and return() to a shared ReadableStreamAsyncIterator
prototype, as for any WebIDL async iterator, and keep the per-iterator
state in its read request. The prototype chain and property shape are
the ones WPT checks; the placeholder AsyncIterator object in util.js is
no longer needed. As in WebIDL, next() and return() now reject when
called on something that is not a ReadableStream async iterator, and
iterators no longer carry own next/return properties.

Add an async-iterator kind to benchmark/webstreams/lifecycle.js.

webstreams/lifecycle.js kind='async-iterator'   ***  +16.22%
