DB Schema Upgrade from 0.21 fails

Description

When trying to update myth from 0.21, the pre-update dtabase check fails if the "people" table contains entries with names that differ only at character positions > 41. reason is in mythtv/libs/libmythtv/dbcheck.cpp 3593:

the command generated for testing the table for unique utf8 entries is "ALTER TABLE temp_people ADD UNIQUE INDEX verify_unique ( name(41) );". thus only the first 41 characters are indexed and failures occur if two entries only differ past char 41. removal of the "(41)" should fix this problem.

User was using a pre-release version of 0.22. This was fixed in [22081] before 0.22 release.
