in order to fix http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=43593.

Since then, upstream has fixed that bug by introducing identical (as checked on 5.6) but differently-named collations utf8_general_mysql500_ci and ucs2_general50_ci.

Thus, we can remove Percona-specific collations from 5.6. In 5.1/5.5 we can keep them but make them share the definition tables with the upstream siblings.
