SVGPathByteStream is a datastructure with the following performance characteristics:
insert - O(n)
append - O(n)
replace - O(n)
modify any element - O(n)

In SVGPathUtilities we have methods for syncing SVGPathSegLists, SVGPathByteStream, and the string representation of a path. Modifying a PathSeg from a PathSegList requires rebuilding the entire byte stream (with the possible exception of append, see wkbug.com/94048). Once we have a PathSegList, updating the bytestream does not seem like the right approach. Instead, we should use a vector-backed datastructure (insert O(1), append O(1), replace O(1), modify O(1)) or go directly to the Path data itself.
