Description
Instead of returning all results all at once, consider making them iterators. Should be done at the C level so as to really only return the results from tree sitter incrementally.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Query matches and captures APIs in the Node.js bindings and identify how they currently obtain all results. Review the C-level tree-sitter query behavior before deciding how incremental iteration should work. Done means both APIs expose results incrementally without collecting them all at once, with appropriate coverage for their observable behavior.
