Current Metadata Approach not compatible with multlplexer #13

I'm making some assumptions on how the data is sent through the pipe, namely that strings sent get deserialized as strings (typeof string works). This isn't the case so I need to make some changes...

I think it's time to strip back filestream to be "not metadata aware" and create another package which extends the read and write implementations to interrogate the file and include relevant metadata. At the base level the filestream will call a _encodeHeaderBlocks() on the reader and a _decodeHeaderBlocks() on the writer. The base implementations of each will do nothing.

Done and releases as filestream@3.0.0
