Mysql encoding

[andriusch]

As nothing is configured in my.cnf mysql sets encoding to latin. It should be possible to configure or at even make the default encoding to utf-8.

For mysql this needs to be added to my.cnf:

  [mysqld]
  character-set-server=utf8
  default-collation=utf8_unicode_ci

It would also make sense to make mysql client use utf-8 with this:

  [client]
  default-character-set=utf8
