[GitHub] drill issue #936: DRILL-5772: Add unit tests to indicate how utf-8 support c...

    @paul-rogers, the unit tests just show which influence saffron property has on Drill (since people in the community where asking how to enable support UTF-8 in Drill), a long with this PR we'll also add description to Drill documentation. 
    
    So far Drill relies on Calcite saffron property to determine which charset it supports. By default, it's ISO-8859-1. So currently if customer wants to query UTF-8 data in Drill, he will get an error (one of the unit tests shows it) and needs to override saffron property to proceed. I guess, we don't support UTF-8 by default since there are some issues and Drill did not fully tested UTF-8 support.
