Isaac Connor 6678674d7e fix: use utf8mb4 for CakePHP API DB connection for Unicode monitor names refs #4785

CakePHP applies the datasource 'encoding' as SET NAMES, and it was 'utf8',
MySQL's 3-byte utf8mb3 alias. Like the C++ daemon connection, this mangles
4-byte UTF-8 characters in utf8mb4 columns such as Monitors.Name to '?' on
read and truncates them on write, so the API returned and stored corrupted
names. Set it to utf8mb4 to match the schema.

ZoneMinder API

This is the ZoneMinder API. It should be, for now, installed under the webroot e.g. /api.

app/Config/database.php.default must be configured and copied to app/Config/database.php

In addition, Security.salt and Security.cipherSeed in app/Config/core.php should be changed.

The API can run on a dedicated / separate instance, so long as it can access the database as configured in app/Config/database.php
