How to handle backpressure?

[liran]

When writing a large file, if we don't have a drain event, how do we handle backpressure?

@liran, thanks for the feedback! I don't know about "backpressure" or the "drain" event. I will inform myself and come back to you when I have something.

If the receiver adjusts the speed of receiving data through pause() and resume(), the corresponding sender also needs to slow down the data writing speed.
Through the drain event, the sender can control the write speed.
Therefore, when implementing pause() and resume() for the receiver in #41, the drain event should also be implemented for the sender.

@liran, I will add a drain event when socket.pause() and socket.resume() are implemented. In the meantime, a hacky workaround might be using the callback argument provided to socket.write() and a little extra code logic.
