Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The streaming package has a corresponding streaming-bytestring package, with a specialised ByteStream m r type. Should linear-base adopt this convention also, and provide a linear ByteStream to parallel the linear streams it provides?
Describe the solution you'd like
A definite decision that yes, we'd like a linear ByteStream library (and would be open to a PR, even if there's no near-term plan for Tweag to build one); or no, you should be using Stream (Of ByteString).

Research direction
The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by reviewing linear-base's existing Stream API and the streaming and streaming-bytestring package conventions; done means deciding whether to provide a linear ByteStream or use Stream (Of ByteString), with the accepted implementation scope clarified.
