fetch/S3: replace ResumableSink with proper JSSinks

Using a node:stream Readable as a fetch() request body wedges the process at 100% CPU when the Readable's _read() pushes synchronously: the event loop never runs again, destroy() never fires, and RSS climbs until OOM.

Reproduction

import net from 'node:net';
import { Readable } from 'node:stream';
const srv = net.createServer(s => s.on('data', () => {}));
await new Promise(r => srv.listen(0, '127.0.0.1', r));
const chunk = Buffer.alloc(16 * 1024, 0x47);
const rd = new Readable({ read() { this.push(chunk); } });
setTimeout(() => rd.destroy(new Error('upstream went away')), 100);
await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:${srv.address().port}/`, { method: 'POST', body: rd, duplex: 'half' });

Node/undici rejects after ~120ms. Bun spins forever; gdb on the main thread shows ArrayBufferSink.write re-entered from JS indefinitely.

Cause

ResumableSink (the sink fetch/S3 used for request-body streaming) was a parallel implementation of what the JsSinkType/generate-jssink.ts/assignToStream machinery already does for every other sink. Its pump (assignStreamIntoResumableSink) materialised a DirectPending stream into an ArrayBufferSink-backed JSDirectStreamController whose write returns bytes-written (>= 0), so driveAsyncIterator's only backpressure check (wrote < 0) never fires and a synchronous-yielding iterator spins forever.

Fix

Delete ResumableSink and fold its two consumers into the JSSink family:

  • FetchRequestBodySink is a new JsSinkType that wraps the FetchTasklet back-ref. write_bytes carries the existing chunked-framing + ThreadSafeStreamBuffer write, returning Writable::Backpressure once the buffer reaches highWaterMark; flush_from_js(true) returns a pending promise the HTTP-thread drain resolves, and Signal::ready() re-enters the pump.
  • S3 upload_stream() switches to the existing NetworkSink + assign_to_stream. NetworkSink::write_* now propagate MultiPartUpload's backpressure as Writable::Backpressure, and on_writable fires signal.ready() on drain.

Both callers go through assign_to_stream, so a DirectPending body reaches readDirectStream, which hands the sink controller straight to pull(). driveAsyncIterator's existing wrote < 0 check fires, the pump suspends on flush(true)'s drain promise, and the event loop runs.

Removed: ResumableSink.rs, ResumableSink.classes.ts, JSResumableSinkPumpOperation, assignStreamIntoResumableSink and its resumable* pump, ReadRequestKind::ResumableSinkPump, and the associated handler/structure registrations. Net -460 lines.

Benchmark

Release build, 50 concurrent operations x 10 MB each (500 MB total per scenario), median of 3 runs, linux x64. Each scenario runs in a fresh subprocess; RSS delta is peak RSS minus baseline sampled every 50 ms; CPU is process.cpuUsage() user+sys for the worker process (the echo server runs in a separate subprocess and is not counted).

  • spawn-pipe on main fails outright: piping a fetch() response body into Bun.spawn stdin surfaces unhandled EPIPE from readStreamIntoSink and the operation never completes at 50x concurrency. This PR handles it cleanly.
  • node-readable on main burns ~1.7x CPU per wall-clock second (1.28 s CPU in 757 ms wall = ~170%), which is the async-iterator pump spinning without yielding. This PR brings it to ~85% (922 ms CPU in 1.08 s wall), i.e. proper backpressure with one core doing useful work.
  • file-upload is ~9% faster wall-clock and ~17% less CPU on this PR (FileReader -> FetchRequestBodySink native path).
  • proxy-response / upload-proxy show higher peak RSS on this PR. At 50x concurrent 10 MB transfers the new SinkHandle path keeps more data in flight (each req.body -> fetch body holds its chunked buffer until the echo response arrives), whereas main's ResumableSink path applied tighter backpressure earlier. Throughput is within ~15% either way and memory stays bounded below the 500 MB payload total per iteration, but this is a known trade-off worth noting.
