Public bug reported:

README contains the instruction to install a MySQL or PostgreSQL
database only, however after setting up a MySQL 5.7.18-0ubuntu0.17.04.1
scheme, I get the message `You are not using a UTF-8 database. Mahara
stores all data as UTF-8 internally. Please drop and re-create your
database using UTF-8 encoding.`. Both README and the message should
contain information (text or a link) how to setup such an UTF-8
database.

This is not a support request to fix this for me, but an improvement
suggestion to get this fixed for anybody.
