    Description

      To help users to switch to utf8mb4 easier (see MDEV-19123), let's remap utf8 operating system locales (such as en_US.UTF-8 on Linux) from the current utf8mb3 to utf8mb4.

      Another option is to take into account OLD_MODE, to map locales like en_US.UTF-8 to MariaDB character sets as follows:

      • to utf8mb3 if OLD_MODE=utf8_is_utf8mb3 is specified
      • to utf8mb4 otherwise
