Title: Restore missing db_charset and db_collate to nginx recipe.

I was having an issue with charset and noticed it wasn't being set in wp-config.php. Upon further investigation, it looks like you're not sending the variables to the template in the nginx recipe. Putting them back in fixed the issues I was saying. Maybe these were left out for a reason?
