`Uri.EscapeDataString` no longer throws if parameter is longer than 32766 characters long

Description

The documentation for Uri.EscapeDataString is out of date. At least in .Net 6 and later, the method doesn't throw a UriFormatException until value is over 65519 characters long, which is larger than the documented 32766 limit. This now matches the maximum length that Uri supports.
