MySQL in its infinite wisdom determines that UTF8 does not mean UTF8. Our install scripts know about this and will set CHARSET to utf8mb4 if we users choose this but... users who do not explicitly set this variable will default to utf8mb3 without knowing it. This PR changes the unset CHARSET value to utf8mb4 if users choose to use mysql. Signed-off-by: Andrew Thornton <art27@cantab.net>

as this just makes the code match the documentation I'm removing the breaking label and adding the bug label |

Technically that makes it backportable too. |

I don't think we should back port this one. |
