Title: Tell mysql that Unicode columns are actually unicode.

Without this patch, Unicode columns get no special treatment by default,
and fall back to whatever the table, database, server configuration
and (eventually) server hardcoded default encoding is. The hardcoded
default mysql encoding is latin1.
