Subject: [PATCH 05/11] A few API changes to new Stream parsing functions.

Renamed readChars() -> readBytes(), readCharsUntil() -> readBytesUntil().
Changed timeouts to milliseconds from seconds; default from 5 to 1 seconds.
Removed readCharsBetween().

Subject: [PATCH 11/11] Moving write errors out of return value into separate
 API methods.

write(), print(), println() now return size_t (and don't use negative values to signal errors).
Print adds writeError() for checking for write errors, clearWriteError() to reset the flag to false, and a protected setWriteError() for signalling errors.
