Error in IBufferWriterExtension Write for unmanaged types

[pziezio]

Describe the bug

IBufferWriterExtension.Write method for unmanaged types creates a Span with invalid length:

int length = sizeof(T);
Span<byte> span = writer.GetSpan(1);

should be:

int length = sizeof(T);
Span<byte> span = writer.GetSpan(length);

That causes System.ArgumentException : The current buffer writer can't contain the requested input data. at runtime.

Steps to reproduce

Leave only one byte of free capacity and write a larger unmanaged type:

using var buffer = new ArrayPoolBufferWriter<byte>(16);

var count = buffer.Capacity - 1;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
    buffer.Write<byte>(0);
}

buffer.Write(1.0);

Expected behavior

It should grow the buffer accordingly.
