Comment:

 On new WordPress installs, `DB_CHARSET` will be set to `utf8mb4`.

 On existing WordPress installs, WordPress will automatically upgrade the
 tables to `utf8mb4`, and when `DB_CHARSET` is defined as `utf8`, it will
 automatically switch to `utf8mb4` instead.

 `DB_CHARSET` is left as `utf8` in `wp-config.php`, because WordPress
 doesn't write to `wp-config.php` outside of the setup process.
