chore: deprecate `Deno.Reader`, `Deno.ReaderSync`, `Deno.Writer`, `Deno.WriterSync` and `Deno.Closer` (#21465)

This change deprecates `Deno.Reader`, `Deno.ReaderSync`, `Deno.Writer`,
`Deno.WriterSync` and `Deno.Closer` in favour of the [Web Streams
API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Streams_API).
After discussing with Yoshiya, we both thought now might be the right
time to deprecate these interfaces with v2 getting closer.
