Bug description:
The DB should get converted to UTF-8 on upgrade, for better performance.

This is not required, since "SET NAMES UTF8" makes sure that we get UTF-8, but that includes conversion on MySQL side, when the DB is not encoded as utf8.

I'm attaching a script for reference, which does just that and should get added to the upgrade process.
