The driver missed definitions of many collations(utf8mb4 in particular)
That could cause exception in resultset's metadata methods isCaseSensitive and getColumnDisplaySize if resultset's charset was one of those missing.
The patch adds missing charsets to the array with charsets info, and fixes some minor errors in it(the array).

Noted in 1.1.4 changelog.

Definitions for character sets and collations were added (utf8mb4 in
particular).
