This should force all MySQL/MariaDB connections to use the correct names and collation to be utf8mb4 and utf8mb4_unicode_ci. It will not fix current tables which have the wrong charset or collation, but it should prevent new databases and future additions to use the wrong set.

Also made sure that the init statements are also applied during migrations, which currently did not happen.

Should prevent / resolve #6611 like issues in the future.
