The original implementation of the experimental
`FileHandle.readableWebStream` API created non-`type: 'bytes'` streams,
which prevented callers from creating `mode: 'byob'` readers from the
returned stream, which means they could not achieve the associated
"zero-copy" performance characteristics.
Then, #46933 added a parameter allowing callers to pass the `type`
parameter down to the ReadableStream constructor, exposing the same
semantics to callers of `FileHandle.readableWebStream`.
But there is no point to giving callers this choice: FileHandle-derived
streams are by their very nature byte streams. We should not require
callers to explicitly opt in to having byte stream semantics. Moreover,
I do not see a situation in which callers would ever want to have a
non-bytes stream: bytes-streams only do anything differently than normal
ones if `mode: 'byob'` is passed to `getReader`.
So, remove the `options` parameter and always create a ReadableStream
with `type: 'bytes'`.
Fixes#54041.
