stream: fix no data on partial decode

Before this commit, it was possible to push a partial character
to a readable stream where it was decoded as an empty string and
then added to the internal buffer. This caused the stream to not
emit any data, even when the rest of the character bytes were pushed
separately, because of a non-zero length check of the first chunk in
the internal buffer.
