Interface for Stream Format

@BryanCutler This looks great! What do people feel about having less sub
namespaces?
Original,
```
o.a.a.vector.ipc
file
ArrowFileReader
ArrowFileWriter
ArrowMagic
stream
ArrowStreamReader
ArrowStreamWriter
json
JsonFileReader
JsonFileWriter
message
ArrowBlock
ArrowFooter
ArrowMessage
ArrowRecordBatch
ArrowDictionaryBatch
FBSerializable
FBSerializables
MessageSerializer
ArrowReader
ArrowWriter
ReadChannel
WriteChannel
```
Less sub namespaces:
```
o.a.a.vector.ipc
message
ArrowBlock
ArrowFooter
ArrowMessage
ArrowRecordBatch
ArrowDictionaryBatch
FBSerializable
FBSerializables
MessageSerializer
ArrowReader
ArrowWriter
ArrowFileReader
ArrowFileWriter
ArrowMagic
ArrowStreamReader
ArrowStreamWriter
ReadChannel
WriteChannel
JsonFileReader
JsonFileWriter

> The ArrowWriter
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/java/vector/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/vector/file/ArrowWriter.java
> accepts a WriteableByteChannel where the stream is written
> It would be useful to be able to support other kinds of message framing and
> transport, like GRPC or HTTP. So rather than writing a complete Arrow stream
> as a single contiguous byte stream, the component messages (schema,
> dictionaries, and record batches) would be framed as separate messages in the
> underlying protocol.
> So if we were using ProtocolBuffers and gRPC as the underlying transport for
> the stream, we could encapsulate components of an Arrow stream in objects
> like:
> {code:language=protobuf}
> message ArrowMessagePB {
> required bytes serialized_data;
> }
> {code}
> If the transport supports zero copy, that is obviously better than
> serializing then parsing a protocol buffer.
> We should do this work in C++ as well to support more flexible stream
> transport.
