db: introduce db-create --reuse option
Support use of an existing database so the Kallithea database user doesn't have
to be granted permissions to create databases.
The existing database must of course have been created "correctly", for example
using the right charset and collation on MariaDB/MySQL. Creating the database
manually also provides a way to avoid the hardcoded defaults.
