[lldb] Gardening in StreamAsynchronousIO (NFC)

[JDevlieghere]

A handful of minor improvements to StreamAsynchronousIO:

• Document the class.
• Use a named enum value to distinguishing between stdout and stderr.
• Add missing period to comment.
• Clear the string instead of assigning to it.
• Eliminate color argument.
