Component body

Module to "upgrade" the database connection to allow utf8mb4 requiring characters to be passed over to MySQL.

In it's current state, it's not generally applicable, as there is a hard-coded content type in the module, and it only acts on node entities. It's published mostly to show others with the same requirement how it can be implemented.

Patches accepted in case anyone is interested in making it entity-generic, add bundle settings, or other related functionality.
