XMLStream should be a true Stream object

The lib should be re-factored to become a “true” Stream object so that we can pipe a stream into XMLStream. I’ve done initial work which I know works with a simple example, but there’s a lot of more rework that needs to be done in order for all the functionality to work. Also, most likely, it’d be nice if it still worked to use the library using the old API.

What I want is for it to work like this (for example):

var xmlstream = new XMLStream(); // Options can (and should?) be passed here rather than by calling functions further down the road

fs.createReadStream('my.file').pipe(xmlstream);

... // Do business as usual with .on('endElement: item', function ( ... ) { ... })

You can find my initial work at https://github.com/cjblomqvist/xml-stream in my stream branch: https://github.com/cjblomqvist/xml-stream/tree/stream

Let me know if you want me to do a pull request. At this point I thought my branch was in such bad condition it wasn’t preferable yet.
