Bug#12337762 : MYSQL_LIST_FIELDS() RETURNS WRONG CHARSET FOR CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT

COLUMNS IN VIEWS

Issue:
charset value for a Column, returned by MYSQL_LIST_FIELDS(), was not same
for Table and View. This was because, for view, field charset was not being
returned.

Solution:
Added definition of function "charset_for_protocol()" in calss 
Item_ident_for_show to return field charset value.
