This patch adds the ability to store extra field metadata in the table
map event. This data can include pack_length() or field_lenght() for
fields such as CHAR or VARCHAR enabling developers to add code that
can check for compatibilty between master and slave columns. More 
importantly, the extra field metadata can be used to store data from the
master correctly should a VARCHAR field on the master be <= 255 bytes 
while the same field on the slave is > 255 bytes. '

The patch also includes the needed changes to unpack to ensure that data
which is smaller on the master can be unpacked correctly on the slave.

Test that we can start a MySQL Server with a default multibyte charset with
NDB running. Test *really* basic functionality too.

===================================================================

NDB util thread calls mysql_parse internally with plain old c strings (7bit ascii) to create tables (e.g. mysql.ndb_schema). With mysqld default charset set to a multibyte one (e.g. ucs2) mysql_parse would try to interpret the 7bit string as UCS2 and promptly explode in a heap.

Solution is to set the util thread to be using utf8 charset.
