    Fix for BUG#16676: Database CHARSET not used for stored procedures
    
    The problem in BUG#16211 is that CHARSET-clause of the return type for
    stored functions is just ignored.
    
    The problem in BUG#16676 is that if character set is not explicitly
    specified for sp-variable, the server character set is used instead
    of the database one.
    
    The fix has two parts:
    
      - always store CHARSET-clause of the return type along with the
        type definition in mysql.proc.returns column. "Always" means that
        CHARSET-clause is appended even if it has not been explicitly
        specified in CREATE FUNCTION statement (this affects BUG#16211 only).
    
        Storing CHARSET-clause if it is not specified is essential to avoid
        changing character set if the database character set is altered in
        the future.
    
        NOTE: this change is not backward compatible with the previous releases.
    
      - use database default character set if CHARSET-clause is not explicitly
        specified (this affects both BUG#16211 and BUG#16676).
    
        NOTE: this also breaks backward compatibility.
