Encode the length of type names and tags in a varint encoding
instead of a fixed 2-byte encoding. This allows lengths longer
than 65535 (which can happen for large unnamed structs).
Removed the alignment check for #14962, it isn't relevant any more
since we're no longer reading pointers directly out of this data
(it is encoded as an offset which is copied out bytewise).
Fixes#44155
Update #14962
