Fix buffer overflow for non-batched send when the message metadata si…

…ze exceeds 64KB (#443)

See apache/pulsar-client-python#223

### Motivation

Currently a shared buffer is used to store serialized message metadata
for each send request. However, its capacity is only 64KB, when the metadata
size exceeds 64KB, buffer overflow could happen.

### Modifications

When the metadata size is too large, allocate a new buffer instead of
using the shared buffer. Add `testLargeProperties` to cover it.
