E8021 error

Profiles enabled without the per-character profile SavedVariable (<name>PerChar)

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: yes

saved.bind with profiles = true keeps the active profile of each character in a second, per-character SavedVariable named after the first with PerChar appended (MyAddonDB uses MyAddonDBPerChar). That variable isn't declared, so the profile choice would be lost at logout.

Add <name>PerChar to addon.saved-variables-per-character in wowlua.json.

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E8021]: profiles keep the active profile in `MyAddonDBPerChar`: add it to `addon.saved-variables-per-character`
