Description

The internal byte array of o.a.h.io.Text does not shrink , if we set a capacity that is less than the size of the internal byte array.

• If input length for setCapacity < length of byte array - then the byte array is reset.
• Existing data is retained depending on if keepData variable is set.
• 4 new test cases added for various capacity sizes
