Description

Based on comments from T194125: [RFC] Future of charset and collation for mediawiki on mysql :

In T194125#4192960, @Bawolff wrote:

I fully support killing the "Do you want to use UTF-8 collation" option (aka the BMP only utf8 collation) in the installer. Its is poorly explained option that I'm sure 99% of our users misunderstand, and just increases the diversity of things that can go wrong.

In T194125#4246766, @jcrespo wrote:

My only suggestion is to remove the utf-8 installer option ASAP as that is reasonable to happen, to avoid having more issues. Also extensions should convert to assume always binary on new install(?)

Tentatively tagging for 1.31 release.
