#2493: MySQL tables use default database character set
----------------------+-----------------------

This is another one thats either low-pri or not really a buildbot bug:
Even though buildbot requires utf8, tables created for a MySQL backed use
the default character set used by the database they are created in, which
causes issues when this is not utf8. This is obviously a very minor issue
since its easy to change the default character set or to fix the tables
and this only has to be done once when the database tables are first
created. However, it'd probably be nice if buildbot would work
independently of what the default database character set is.
I'm not sure of a great solution here, but it will probably be similar to
http://trac.buildbot.net/ticket/2492. The SQAlchemy Table objects accept
a 'mysql_charset' option which, when set to 'utf8', seems to fix the
problem. However, there are several places where Table objects are
instantiated and its probably undesirable to change all these call sites.
