Allow for open-ended duration streams

Paying employees would be notably easier if I could setup a single stream that runs indefinitely.
This likely requires two other feature requests:
- Multiple streams drawing from one account.
- Allowing streams to be created without fully funding the entire stream up front.
With this, employees would have a stream setup when they start and it would be cancelled when they leave the company. Otherwise, payments would be fully automated.
The employer would only need to keep the single funding account funded and all employees would receive payment automatically. The funding account could be where company revenue accrues so as long as the company isn't bankrupt employees would get paid.

would love to be able to top off a stream just by sending to the stream's 0x - ideally set an ens name or sub-name as the receiver

Another request for this feature just came on Crisp:
"gm! I have someone I want to pay $100k a year. I don't have their 100k today. Is there a way I can "set and forget" the stream and then top it up with funds?"

That would be a great feature to have

Allow setting up a stream without having enough money to pay for it up front.

One may want to setup a long term stream but will top-up the account that pays that stream over time. If the account that is funding a stream doesn't have enough money to pay the full stream, it should be made clear in the UI to the stream receiver when the current money will run out, as well as when the stream is scheduled to end.

Getting to a system like the one you are describing is a long-term goal of ours, but it will probably take a few more years before we get there to be honest.
Having a clean system for open-ended streaming (indefinite streams) is a major undertaking, especially because none of the currently existing solutions for open-ended streaming fit our requirements when it comes to the elegance of the architecture.
