mysql: bump charset to to 'utf8mb4' to get full UTF-8 support
We used to use 'utf8', but in MySQL, this is just an alias for 'utf8mb3' which
isn't full unicode. 'utf8mb4' has less surprises (especially if used with the
'utf8mb4_unicode_ci' collation).
MySQL character sets for server, database, tables, and connection are set
independently. Until now, we have specified 'utf8' when creating tables to
overrule the database charset and in the default MySQL connection URL.
For existing databases, it is recommended to change encoding (and collation) by
altering the each of the tables inside it as described on
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6115612/how-to-convert-an-entire-mysql-database-characterset-and-collation-to-utf-8 .

====================
Backing up Kallithea
====================
Settings
--------
Just copy your .ini file, it contains all Kallithea settings.
Whoosh index
------------
The Whoosh index is located in the ``data/index`` directory where you installed
Kallithea, i.e., the same place where the ini file is located
Database
--------
When using sqlite just copy kallithea.db.
Any other database engine requires a manual backup operation.
A database backup will contain all gathered statistics.
