Description
Since collation decisions on MySQL affects case-sensitivity as well as whether some fields are returned as unicode or bytestrings, we need a more complete section in the documentation that the current admonition in refs/models/querysets.txt.

(In [8568]) Added documentation to explain the gains and losses when using utf8_bin
collation in MySQL. This should help people to make a reasonably informed
decision. Usually, leaving the MySQL collation alone will be the best solution,
but if you must change it, this gives a start to the information you need and
pointers to the appropriate place in the MySQL docs.
There's a small chance I also got all the necessary Sphinx markup correct, too
(it builds without errors, but I may have missed some chances for glory and
linkage).
Fixed #2335, #8506.
