2023-01-21til_stream: introduce stream iterator et alVito Caputo
In order to implement something like a rocket module there needs to be a way to iterate the pipes in the stream, and take owernship of them when not already owned by rocket. The way rocket's API works is you lookup tracks by name at runtime. The rocket module will be a meta module that calls into another module for rendering, arbitrarily configured via a rocket setting a la checkers::fill_module. So it won't be until the underlying modules do some rendering that their taps get their respective pipes established in the stream. Then the rocket module can look at all the pipes and for any it doesn't own yet, it can get the tracks for those names and take ownership while stowing the track handle in owner_foo for the pipe. While iterating all the pipes, the pipes already owned will have the tracks readily available which can produce the values to stick in the tap. Something like that anyways, the til_stream_t api changes in this commit are all preparatory for a rocket module.
2023-01-21til_stream: add a second void* to til_stream_pipe_tVito Caputo
It seems likely that pipe owners will need not only a way to differentiate themselves via the owner pointer, but also somewhere to register a pipe-specific reference. There probably needs to be a result pointer added for storing the owner_foo when the owner taps, so the owner can make use of it.

Just some banal paperwork...
2023-01-11til_stream: first stab at implementing til_stream_tVito Caputo
Until now there's just been a forward declared type for til_fb_fragment_t.stream's type, and it's been completely unused. The purpose of the stream is to provide a continous inter-frame object where information can be stored pertaining to the stream of frames. Right now, that information is limited to emergent "pipes" formed by using taps against a given stream. Taps at new paths in the stream become added as pipes for those paths, with the responsible tap hooked in as the driving tap. Taps at existing paths become diverted to the driving taps, enabling potential for external drivers for tapped variables. This commit only adds the implementation, nothing is actually using it yet.
