[Proposal] Consider making the database charset configurable

[javiereguiluz]

Right now the charset is hardcoded as UTF8:

# /etc/packages/doctrine.yml
doctrine:
    dbal:
        # ...
        charset: UTF8

This is of course a wise default value ... but lately is more and more common to have to change this config value to utf8mb4, because that's the value needed by MySQL to store emojis correctly 😱

If #18 is considered, making this value configurable would be easy:

# Before
###> doctrine/doctrine-bundle ###
DB_URL='mysql://root@127.0.0.1:3306/symfony'
###< doctrine/doctrine-bundle ###

# After
###> doctrine/doctrine-bundle ###
DB_URL='mysql://root@127.0.0.1:3306/symfony?charset=utf8'
###< doctrine/doctrine-bundle ###
