Description:
When the value of metadata is 256 then the length of variable to store metadata should be 2 bytes, but in current scenario its 1, which results in wrong decoding of MYSQL_TYPE_VARCHAR when metadata value is 256.

How to repeat:
Fire a query with type MYSQL_TYPE_VARCHAR and metadata value as 256, one extra character will be printed in the beginning of the resulting string.
