Convert database collation from latin1 to utf8 #105

Yeah, this one is special. Its mostly a backend thing and I expect minimal code to actually address this, but want to track it.

Theoretically, once its converted, it should just work and saving Unicode characters to the database shouldn't actually need any code changes for that logic. just a database migration with flyway...

However, will need to throw the bot offline and back everything up like 5 times over for this, so its something I want to accomplish, but dunno when it'll happen.

This would, once completed, likely solve a number of issues related to saving certain data in the database because of not being able to accept Unicode characters at current
