#8780: Various unicode unit tests may fail on MySQL, since test database may be
created without utf-8 character set

The MySQL installation notes state that the database character set should
be utf-8, specified by either "CREATE DATABASE <dbname> CHARACTER SET
utf8;" or a database-wide default "mysqld -C utf8" or "default-character-
set = utf8"
runtests.py creates a new test database, but does not force the character
set to utf8 when it does so.
This means that users configured with a database-wide default of utf8 will
find that runtests.py works fine.
However, users who only set this for their working Django database, may
find that the new test database has the wrong character set, in which case
they will see several tests fail (one example below):
{{{
$ ./runtests.py --settings=SETT_mysql basic

The answer is probably for the test framework to force a complete "CREATE
DATABASE <dbname> CHARACTER SET utf8;" when it creates the test database
when run with the mysql backend.
