Title:
  Add mysql collation mode to pre-install sanity check

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  It appears that if you try to install Mahara with a MySQL DB where the
  collation mode is 16-bit rather than 8-bit (i.e. UTF16 instead of
  UTF8), it fails out with the unhelpful error message "mysql error:
  [1231: Variable 'sql_mode' can't be set to the value of 'POSTGRESQL']
  in EXECUTE("SET SQL_MODE='POSTGRESQL'")"

  Is this something we could add to the sanity check on each page (or
  maybe just the pre-install sanity check)?
