>> With the introduction of `toList()`, preserving the SIZED characteristics in more cases becomes more important. This patch preserves SIZED on `skip()` and `limit()` operations, so now every combination of `map/mapToX/boxed/asXyzStream/skip/limit/sorted` preserves size, and `toList()`, `toArray()` and `count()` may benefit from this. E. g., `LongStream.range(0, 10_000_000_000L).skip(1).count()` returns result instantly with this patch.

Still, I notice a significant improvement in SliceToArray.seq_limit case (2x) and mild improvement (+12..16%) in other slice tests. No significant change in parallel execution time, though its performance is much less stable and I didn't run enough tests.

Very good. Thanks making the adjustments. Architecturally, i think we are in a better place. Just have some comments, mostly around code comments.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/stream/AbstractPipeline.java line 471:

> 470:         long size = StreamOpFlag.SIZED.isKnown(flags) ? spliterator.getExactSizeIfKnown() : -1;

Very nice. It's a good compromise to support only for sequential streams, since we have no size adjusting intermediate stateless op. If that was the case we would need to step back through the pipeline until the depth was zero, then step forward. I think it worth a comment here to inform our future selves if we ever add such an operation. 

Strictly speaking we only need to call `exactOutputSize` if the stage is size adjusting. Not sure it really matters perf-wise. If we leave as is maybe add a comment.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/stream/StreamOpFlag.java line 331:

I think we need to add two additional constraints to the documentation:
1. The flag, if present, is only valid when SIZED is present; and
2. The flag is only valid for sequential streams.
The latter is a good compromise given we currently have no size adjusting stateless intermediate op.
