- Introduce varcharmax config item, this default eventually should be increased to 255, when MySQL 5.6 support is dropped
- Config item can be kept to retain legacy support
- Only apply to mysql driver, previously was impacting other drivers
- Source true config values, previously was sourcing hard coded "mysql" connection values
Adds an Artisan command "october:passwd" to change the password of a Backend User through CLI. This command may only be run through CLI - it will not work if called through a web handler.

Fixes: https://github.com/octobercms/october/issues/1927. Related: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/17508. Issue occurs when database configuration related to full support for the utf8mb4 charset is incorrect; MySQL > 5.7 & MariaDB > 10.2 doesn't have this issue because they default to the correct configuration values; this fix solves the issue for older versions of MySQL and MariaDB without requiring database server configuration changes.
The root cause of the issue with the utf8mb4 encoding is that both InnoDB and MyISAM have too low of an index key prefix limit (767 bytes and 1000 bytes respectively) to properly store 255 4-byte characters; which would take 1024 bytes. See the docs on InnoDB limitations: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-restrictions.html
In MySQL >= 5.7 & MariaDB >= 10.2 this limit has been bumped to 3076 bytes by the changing of the default value of the `innodb_large_prefix` configuration property (introduced in MySQL 5.5) to true; which is what bumps up the limit. In order to manually set that property to true on earlier versions, `innodb_file_format` must be set to `BARRACUDA` and `row_format` must be `DYNAMIC` or `COMPRESSED`. See http://mechanics.flite.com/blog/2014/07/29/using-innodb-large-prefix-to-avoid-error-1071/ for more information.
This change fixes the issue by changing the default string length to 191 (total of 764 bytes, within the older size limit) when the MySQL database config is detected to be using the utf8mb4 charset.
If raw == (string) content, then it is a markdown email (html/text are ignored -- markdown sets them)
If raw == (bool) true, then it is true raw (html/text must be supplied)
This is modeled after the Backend helper. Primarily used to generate URLs for the frontend, these are piped through the CmsController action. It would also be a good place to add a hook, if necessary later.
