Fix for bug#36772: When using UTF8, CONVERT with GROUP BY

returns truncated results

Problem: performig conversion from {INT, DECIMAL, REAL} to CHAR
we incorrectly set its max length in some cases that may lead
to truncated results returned.

Fix: properly set CONVERT({INT, DECIMAL, REAL}, CHAR) result's
max length.
