Description:
We want to be able to change default charset of the server, and of all
mtr tests. In order to do incremental testing/changes of mtr tests, implement:

How to repeat:
./mtr --charset-for-testdb=utf8mb4 main.key_cache

Suggested fix:
   # Create test database
   mtr_tofile($bootstrap_sql_file,
-            "CREATE DATABASE test;\n");
+            "CREATE DATABASE test CHARACTER SET $opt_charset_for_testdb;\n");

Noted in 8.0.1 changelog.

mysql-test-run.pl now has a --charset-for-testdb=charset_name option
for specifying the default character set for the test database. The
default value is latin1.
