I made a slightly different change to keep the list short and adding one
line for the DB would have had to result in also mentioning the
installation instructions again for the other steps.

Title:
  Add installation instructions for UTF-8 database requirement to README

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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.

  experienced with 1.8RC2_RELEASE-4940-g8bd74fdbf on Ubuntu 17.04
