docs: deprecate stream, move documentation to client|server stream Deprecate Stream, and move the methods and documention to ServerStream and ClientStream. This is due to the fact that there are different semantics for SendMsg, and it's quite confusing to document one method for two things. Furthermore, Stream is not actually used in any way other than to be inherited by ClientStream and ServerStream. Relevant issue: #2159
