component: Avoid adding to the global stream metatable

This allows component and client connections to be made side-by-side.
Previous to this change, loading this connection module would break the
ability to make client connections, due to overriding stream methods such as
:reopen() and :reset().

A next step would be to share the methods that the two connection modules have
in common.

 -- Import gettime() from LuaSocket, as a way to access high-resolution time
 -- in a platform-independent way
 local socket_gettime = require "socket".gettime;
 local monotonic;
 local have_system_lib, system = pcall(require, "system");
 if have_system_lib then
 	monotonic = system.monotime;
 end
 return {
 	now = socket_gettime;
 	monotonic = monotonic;
 }
