This PR adds a brief reference to the
node:stream/consumersutility functions in the main stream documentation (doc/api/stream.md).As discussed in issue #62535, the
node:stream/consumersmodule provides convenient, "batteries-included" utility functions that are often missed by developers who instead write manual boilerplate to consume streams into strings or buffers.Linking it directly where the docs state "It is usually not necessary to use the
node:streammodule to consume streams" greatly improves discoverability for developers.Fixes #62535
