We relax this as there are use cases where this is safe, though it is

### Fixing incorrect `COLLATE` or `CTYPE`
Synapse will refuse to set up a new database if it has the wrong values of
`COLLATE` and `CTYPE` set. Synapse will also refuse to start an existing database with incorrect values

underneath the database, or if a different version of the locale is used on any
replicas.
