message:
  Fix setting character set at connection

  * mysql.connector.Connect(charset='latin1') now works as expected
  * Default character set is (still) UTF-8.
  * SET NAMES is only used when changing character set after connecting.
    Use MySQL.set_charset(charsetname) to change.
  * Test case added for bug report; fixing test case in test_protocol.py
    to reflect the new default character set 'utf-8'.
