Clean up from Bar and Antony code review. Found an issue with the header file were it could end up corrupted.

  Raise maximum column prefix len to 767 bytes, so that MySQL can create a column prefix index of 255 UTF-8 characters (each takes 3 bytes at the maximum); add comments about why innobase_get_at_most_n_mbchars() works ok
dict0mem.h:
  Raise maximum column prefix len to 767 bytes, so that MySQL can create a column prefix index of 255 UTF-8 characters (each takes 3 bytes at the maximum)
row0mysql.c:
  If MySQL tries to create a column prefix index longer that 255 UTF-8 characters, give an error, and drop the table from the InnoDB internal data dictionary. MySQL did not drop the table there in its own error handling.
