JDK-8289188 - SegmentAllocator:allocateArray(*) default behavior mismatch to spec
Description
As per the spec of 
https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk19/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/foreign/SegmentAllocator.html#allocateUtf8String(java.lang.String)

the default implementation for this method copies the contents of the provided Java string into a new memory segment obtained by calling this.allocate(str.length() + 1).

Expectations :

invoking allocateUtf8String(String str) shall delegate a call to allocate(long)

Actual :

The method allocate(long) not invoked, instead allocate(long, long) is invoked.
