bug#9948 changed client-charset behavior in 4.1.x libmysql, which issue BC prob

sql_parse.cc:
mysqld.cc:

  Added --skip-client-character-set-handshake.
  When this option is activated, client side character set
  (which is sent in handshake) is ignored, and server side
  default-character-set value is used for character_set_client
  and character_set_results, thus reprodicing 4.0 behaviour.

Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() and create_tmp_field_from_item()
was converting string field to blob depending on byte-wise length instead of
character length, which results in converting valid varchar string with
length == 86 to longtext.

Made that functions above take into account max width of character when
converting string fields to blobs.

Skipping deleted records instead of breaking the loop
during checksum calculation.

Handle temporary tables like permanent tables: If the storage engine
cannot truncate, delete instead.

Supplied the default database name for ALTER TABLE ... RENAME 
for the new table instead of the old tables db like we do for 
other ALTERs.

Changed end-space comparison so that the key is not used past
its end. This is due to the new end-space behaviour in 4.1.
