Summary:  We plan to ship, in Firefox 100, our implementation of the WritableStreams API which provides an abstraction for writing streaming data to a destination (sink).

As well we will ship the `pipeTo` method of the ReadableStream interface, which allows you to connect a ReadableStream to a WritableStream.

Bug:  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1759597

Specification: WHATWG Streams specification: https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/

Platform coverage:  Everywhere

Preferences: `dom.streams.writable_streams.enabled` and `dom.streams.pipeTo.enabled`

Other browsers:

ReadableStream.prototype.pipeTo: Shipped in Chrome 59 and Safari 10.1
WritableStreams: Shipped in Chrome 59 and Safari 14.1

web-platform-tests: Tested as part of the WTP tests: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/web-platform/meta/streams
