           Summary: UTF-8 check in updatedatabase (and elsewhere)

          Platform: PC

We should not just trust that the user has set up mysql correctly for UTF-8
when we can check.  The consequence for misconfigured use has a high likelihood
of corrupted data, and requires a somewhat dicey export and re-import of data
touched during that time.  Worth avoiding.

So we should verify that encoding is UTF-8 for the DB, Table and Session.
