mysql client displays wrong character-set of server. When a user changes the
charset of a server, mysql client 'status' command displays wrong charset but
the command "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%charset%" displayed correct charset results.
The problem is only with the mysql client's 'status' command output.
In mysql client, the method mysql_store_lazy_result() returns 0 for
success and non-zero for failure. The method com_status() was using this method
wrongly. Fixed all such instances according to return value of the method
mysql_store_lazy_result().
