Directions for mysql conversion for roundup 2.0 (attn: Ralf, Joseph)

Hi Ralf and Joseph and anybody using Mysql as the roundup database:

I just commited 13f5cbbcd4e6:

   https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/code/ci/13f5cbbcd4e6bb0a4aff1bd374401e8c5b9f8fcc/

which tries to describe how to convert the mysql database for use with
roundup 2.0.

While running the test suite for mysql, a problem was found where the
mysql connection encoding could mess up the utf-8 encoded data. This
affects text searching in mysql. As a result a new config.ini
parameter has been added to control the mysql connection encoding. To
clean up problems in the database with mixed encoding, the database
needs to be reloaded. See:

  https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/mailman/message/37019687

for more background.

Note that none of the developers use mysql in production, so we need
somebody in the community to help us vet this.

Please feel free to comment and fix. I plan on releasing roundup 2.0
on July 13.

Thanks.
