Title: migration helper to convert existing openbadges databases to utf8

I think this is all that's needed to convert existing DBs over to utf8.

All the wacky solutions were for utf8 data stored in a latin1 column, but in our case I think all the incoming utf8 data was actually converted to latin1. The downside is that anything outside of the latin1 character set would have been immediately lost in that conversion; the upside is that converting to utf8 is straightforward.
