Refactoring Client to extend Stream.

I think client should be build on top of a stream.

so you can do
client.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('protocol.log'))

client.pipe(new Transform({ writableObjectMode: true, transform(chunk, enc, cb) {
  this.push(JSON.stringify(chunk,null,2);
  cb();
}})).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('protocol.log'));

stream -> [ serializer ] -> [ compressor ] -> framer -> [ cipher ] -> socket
socket -> [ decipher ] -> splitter -> [ decompressor ] -> deseralizer -> stream

The issue names the JavaScript client and a stream-based protocol pipeline, but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the client implementation and its socket, framing, serialization, compression, and encryption flow. Done would mean the client supports the proposed stream pipeline, with coverage for the resulting behavior.
