Subject: [PATCH] [Dart] Actually use resized FlexBuffers buffer

When building a FlexBuffer using the Builder and adding data that exceeds the default buffer size (2048 bytes), in _newOffset() a larger buffer is created, but never used. This results in a RangeError.

Resolve by actually replacing the too small with the new larger buffer. Add a test that verifies this by adding multiple large strings to a vector.
