 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="38580"
 Database: Fall back to `utf8` when `utf8mb4` isn't supported.

 Sometimes, `DB_CHARSET` will be set to `utf8mb4`, even if the current
 setup doesn't support `utf8mb4`. After [38442], this can cause significant
 character set failures, causing the connection to fall back to `latin1`.

 Instead of doing this, we now check that the connection supports `utf8mb4`
 before trying to use it, and fall back to `utf8` when we need to.

 Fixes #37982 for trunk.
