COLLECTIONS-697: Ensure FixedSizeList respects underlying list's size

Formally document and test that if the size of the backing list of
FixedSizeList changes, then so does the FixedSizeList. This has been the
historical behavior. Letting it be part of the contract is reasonable,
expected, and worthwhile to note.

Fixes #55
