Vendor the ES5 web-streams-polyfill 4.3.0 ponyfill and expose an idempotent Streams initializer that preserves constructors supplied by the selected JavaScript engine. Cover readable, writable, transform, BYOB, error, tee, subclassing, and host-constructor behavior with focused ports from WPT plus Firefox and Chromium regression tests. Validate the implementation on JavaScriptCore under ASan/UBSan and QuickJS Release.
Implement iterable BlobPart conversion, MIME and endings normalization, zero-copy Blob composition and slicing, and lazy 64 KiB byte streams. Delegate File streaming and slicing to its backing Blob while preserving browser class identity.\n\nUse immutable shared segments so nested Blob and slice construction do not duplicate payload bytes. Add focused WPT, WebKit, and Firefox regression coverage for constructor ordering, iterator closure, UTF-8 decoding, BYOB reads, cancellation, lifetime safety, and large nested streams.
Replace the ad hoc buffered fetch response object with standard-shaped Headers and Response classes backed by ReadableStream bodies. Preserve host constructors, normalize and validate header values, enforce single-use bodies, and expose native responses with one transport-to-JavaScript copy. Reuse normalized header views between mutations, compact header storage in place, retain stream chunks only until consumption, and allocate a contiguous body result at most once when required. Add focused WPT, WebKit, Firefox, and Chromium regression coverage plus JavaScriptCore/QuickJS and initialization tests.

Pull request overview
This PR upgrades the runtime’s Fetch surface to use browser-shaped Headers and Response objects (with streamed bodies), adds an optional WHATWG Streams ponyfill to support streaming semantics, and extends the native Blob/File polyfills to support slicing and streaming in a way that matches modern web platform behavior.
Changes:
- Added a Streams polyfill module that installs missing WHATWG Streams constructors from a vendored
web-streams-polyfillES5 ponyfill. - Reworked Fetch to use a JS
Headers/Responsepolyfill layer and to expose response bodies asReadableStreams with single-consumption + cloning behavior. - Extended Blob/File polyfills with
slice()andstream()support and expanded unit tests with focused WPT/WebKit/Firefox/Chromium-derived coverage.

Close byte streams for zero-length BufferSource bodies without enqueueing an invalid empty chunk. Preserve the non-null body and bodyUsed semantics, and add focused regression coverage alongside the WPT empty-response cases.
Replace a partial or null host Streams surface as a complete constructor suite so stream products retain compatible instanceof relationships. Preserve a complete suite on repeated initialization.\n\nHarden the native initialization test so N-API failures complete the test promise instead of hanging, and cover partial host replacement plus null handling and cross-constructor compatibility.
Observe standard ReadableStream consumption paths with weak per-stream state instead of depending on web-streams-polyfill's private _disturbed field. Instrument stream readers and piping once during Fetch initialization, preserve stream identity, and cache the initialized Fetch implementation so repeated initialization does not stack wrappers or replace its internal state. Treat Headers and Response as an implementation pair when either host global is missing or null. Harden native initialization tests against unhandled N-API failures and add WPT-derived coverage for reads, cancellation, piping, and streams disturbed before Response construction.
Use ReadableByteStreamController.byobRequest views directly and respond with the produced byte count instead of allocating and enqueueing a 64 KiB intermediate chunk. Keep the existing bounded allocation path for default readers.\n\nAdd WPT-derived coverage for small offset BYOB views that cross immutable Blob segment boundaries.

Depends on #208 and #209. The commits remain separate so this can be rebased to the Fetch-only change after those prerequisites land.
Replaces the ad hoc reusable buffered response object with standard-shaped Headers and Response classes. Headers normalize and validate fields, preserve current Set-Cookie behavior, and support live sorted iteration. Response bodies are ReadableStreams with single-consumption semantics, cloning, and browser-shaped metadata and body readers. Empty BufferSource bodies retain a non-null stream without enqueueing an invalid zero-length byte chunk.
UrlLib still buffers the transport response, but completion now copies it once into JavaScript-owned memory. The Response wrapper does not make another snapshot; multi-chunk consumers retain chunk references and allocate one exact contiguous result only when needed. Header iteration is mutation-cached, and delete/set compact storage in place.
Focused coverage is adapted from WPT fetch/api/headers and fetch/api/response, WebKit body-init and empty-chunk regressions, Firefox open-stream teardown, and a bounded Chromium disturbed-stream regression.
Validated on JavaScriptCore ASan/UBSan, JavaScriptCore TSan, and QuickJS Release: 254 JavaScript cases plus 8 native tests in each configuration.
