bug#8600: struct charset.code_space[15] contains garbage

While testing the 32+64 port I noticed that a too-wide value
is stuffed into charset.code_space[15], which means that
slot has a garbage value (at least, it's garbage on typical
machines with 32-bit int).  As far as I can see, the garbage
value is never used, so it's a bit cleaner to never compute
or store it.

I plan to install the following patch to do that.
This patch is relevant to ordinary 32- and 64-bit hosts, too,
so I'm separating it out.

* charset.h (struct charset.code_space): Now has 15 elements, not 16.
* charset.c (Fdefine_charset_internal): Don't initialize
charset.code_space[15].  The value was garbage, on hosts with
32-bit int.
