#917: allow dtype='c' in chararray.

     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new      
 Priority:  normal  |   Milestone:  1.2.0    
Component:  Other   |     Version:  none     
 Severity:  normal  |    Keywords:  chararray
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 currently this fails:
 {{{
 np.array('abc1', dtype='c').view(np.chararray)
 }}}
 because chararray checks for dtype.char in 'SUb'

 the 1 character change in the patch (+ test) allows chararray to accept
 arrays with dtype='c'.
