Reconsider names of the std::comm types #5300

Description

@brson

The name stream has never felt quite right to me for this function. While it is a descriptive name, it is also generic and heavily overloaded. This is the interface to Rust concurrency, and it will be in the prelude, so it should have a distinct name that we're happy with everybody using forever.

Edit: see comments below. A lot of the names in this module are unsatisfying.
