Incorrect string value for debug logs

[euantorano]

Whilst debugging #264, I've occasionally come across the following error:

1366 - Incorrect string value: '\x80g',\x0A ...' for column `mybb`.`mybb_debuglogs`.`message` at row 1

This is during the Users stage, the issue appears to be the IP address for a user: 'UpdateIPAddress\' => \'�?�g\'. An extract of the query is below:

Note: This also occurs when merging forums. The issue is related to how binary data is handled, but I'm not 100% sure of the best approach to solve this.

What kind of db system are you using? MySQL?

Both #235 and #241 are relevant to this issue. #235 (comment) provides some ideas that may be helpful but may not be ideal, and not sure if they're applicable to db systems other than MySQL.

Yeah, I'm on MariaDB 10.5, using UTF8 mb4. I'm using the standard mariadb:10.5 Docker image.

Yes, also having this issue and @euantorano has been super helpful in regards to tackling multiple vanilla issues.

Note: This should be resolved by#267.
