Add a consistent rendering protocol.

This change provides a consistent API to render a htpy object as HTML or
iterate over it.

This commit introduces stream_chunks() which is identical with
__iter__() but with a better name.


With the introduction of Fragment, this commit makes render_node and
iter_node redundant and they will be deprecated in another commit.
