The stream API is currently mostly undocumented. This PR adds documentation for the existing stream API and then subsequently removes the unneeded and undocumented loop argument that was previously passed to stream listeners.
This is a subtle BC break. Empirical evidence (including our examples, tests and other components) suggest that most consumers will not be affected by this. The added documentation ensures that we now follow a strict API and will not introduce a BC break in the future.
Trying to create documentation for this API is not exactly trivial, as it's very low-level and has existed in this form almost since its inception. Given that most consumers SHOULD NOT use this API at all, I've marked the stream API as advanced and linked to the Stream component instead.
Performance improvement is not a major motivation here, but shows a negligible improvement anyway (running examples 92 and 94).
If you want to review, consider also looking at the individual commits.
Builds on top of #100 and #102.
