Commit message:
add patch removing wrong conversion of utf8 to bytes when feeding character data to firebird
1) the bytes_from_utf8 function doesn't convert from utf8 to bytes, but from
utf8 to "native encoding", which may be something like latin1
2) firebird already expects utf8, so conversion is not really necessary
fixes failure to build with perl 5.16+. perl 5.14 seems to have broken
bytes_from_utf8 function, or something else in the environment made it work as
expected
Closes: #704265 -- FTBFS with perl 5.16: test failures
