* [Java][FlexBuffers] Deprecate typed vector strings due to design flaw

It will still be possible to read buffers with this type, but the
elements will be treated as FBT_KEY and will be read as null-terminated
string.

Trying to build a vector of strings as typed will throw an exception.

More information on https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/5627

Also, fix another bug on strings, where long strings were not properly
aligned.

* [Java][FlexBuffers] Make FBT_VECTOR_STRING_DEPRECATED considered typed.

The logic for FlexBuffers.isVectorType() was changed
to not consider FBT_VECTOR_STRING_DEPRECATED a typed
vector, but that can lead to missinterpretation for
existing serialized data. So we are reverting.
