MySQL: Use charset utf8mb4 to allow 4-byte characters

In MySQL, the character set named utf8 uses a maximum of 3 bytes
per character and contains only BMP characters.
It does not support supplementary characters.
In version 5.5.3, a new UTF-8 character set called
utf8mb4 has been introduced, which supports 4-byte characters.

[ChangeLog][QtSql][QSqlDatabase] When connecting to a MySQL server
whose version is 5.5.3 or higher, the default connection charset
is now utf8mb4 instead of utf8 to allow 4-byte UTF-8 encodings.
