frontend/stream: Add packet support and remove send_level.

TX packets are now sent when we have a full packet of when the FIFO is full.
Last can always be asserted from user-side when packet needs to be immediately
transmitted, the behavior will then be similar to previous implementation.

Errors are now also reported on RX.
