StreamSupport -> Streams?

[Brian Goetz]

Two objections:

1.  This is not an SPI!  The SPI would be the currently-hidden XxxOp APIs.

2.  The package is already so small (and getting like 20% smaller when 
we kill CloseableStream and DelegatingStream) as to be silly to have 
another package with one file.

Sam's point, which is a good one, is that it was confusing to mix two 
audiences together in one file, but now that there's only one audience 
for this set of static methods, we can pick a less crappy name.  (Even 
though the name choice was slightly deliberately crappy, but the need to 
create contrast is much lower now that the API is so much smaller than 
it was then.)
