Fix node.js stream blockage in mxstream channels

When the node.js implementation of a `MultiplexingStream` channel receives more data than the highWatermark (16KB) limit, a flowing stream stops flowing permanently, blocking all communication in that direction.

This fixes the problem by calling `resume()` on the stream when flowing has been stopped by that particular data buffer.
