Description

If you install TYPO3 to an existing Database with a default charset other than utf-8, TYPO3 will create tables with the default charset of that database. The install Tool should check the default charset and notify the user if it is not utf-8.

Furthermore the install Tool should check for this issue too and provide an update wizard to fix this (=set the default charset to utf-8 and NOT convert existing tables to utf-8). As Andreas pointed out in #74038 a default charset other than utf-8 leads to non-utf-8 tables when updating the database via the install tool or installing extensions.
