imitate internal policy of ByteArrayOutputStream: capacity is doubled after first push;

tuned whitespace;

unused;

Bytes.Builder is unsynchronized, like java.io.OutputBuffer;

notable performance tuning: avoid overhead of higher-order functions;

more efficient equals: avoid somewhat slow sha1_digest (see also 29b761e290c5, 306f273c91ec);

more scalable compression, using Bytes.Builder.Stream;

tuned: more uniform, less ambitious;

support large byte arrays, using multiple "chunks"; support incremental builder; clarified "limit" (valid >= 0) vs. "hint" (valid > 0); clarified byte access: prefer unchecked acces and iterators internally;

clarified File.eq_content, following 306f273c91ec;
