When the varint of large strings (2kb or more) are serialized, unnecessary bytes are written

[Google Code Exporter]

A 2kb string previously needed 3 bytes for its varint.

Now anything under 16kb will only need 2 bytes.

This is a bug that was overlooked but doesn't have major side effects because 
of the way varint encoding works..

To be exact, if the string's size is:
>= 52488, 2 extra bytes are written.
>= 2048, 1 extra byte is written.
