Description

In interest of disambiguating different meanings of "streams" and "files" I propose that we change these APIs to come out of the pyarrow.ipc namespace. To help with the transition, we can maintain functions in the top level namespace that create a FutureWarning. Since a lot of people use these functions, we should probably give them 2 major releases to get migrated
