Rename `._error` -> `._remote_ctx_error`

The case exists where there is multiple tasks consuming from an open
2-way stream created via `Context.open_stream()` where a sibling task is
pulling from the stream while some other task also calls `.result()`.
Previously the `.result()` call would consume (drain) stream messages
directly from the underlying mem chan which would mean any sibling task
would not receive those same messages. Instead, make `.result()` check
if a stream is open and instead consume (and discard) stream msgs using
a `BroadcastReceiver` (via `MsgStream.subscribe()`) such that all
interested tasks get copies of the same packets.
