charset + collation transformer (fix utf8mb4)

See original GitHub issue

Add a command that does ALTER DATABASE, and ALTER TABLE as required to change character set for the database from utf8 to utf8mb4, or rather, from any arbitrary charset + collation to any other.

Don’t forget to remove the note in the checks docs about this being WIP.
