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
