MySQL 8.0.11 from Homebrew lunched my local database

The MySQL 5.7.22 to 8.0.11 upgrade contains some serious non-backwards-compatible changes (among them authentication - from mysql_native_password to caching_sha2_password by default) and, in my case, could not migrate or upgrade some tables due to a "error in fixing SE data" error discussed at https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=87229.

I tried dropping unneeded databases that contained those problematic tables and got to the point where mysqld was happy to run, but all my databases seemed to disappear despite being present on disk, mysql_upgrade failed to run with "Error occurred: Cannot setup server variables." and mysqld 5.7 now segfaulted on startup presumably due to changes in the database files.

I restored /usr/local/var/mysql from backup and installed MySQL 5.7 again.
