The update is failing due to a syntax error. The "-8" below appears to be related to literal UTF-8. We are not sure how to proceed.
We also noticed a message "Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?". A database schema updater is not discussed at Manual:Upgrading, so we are not sure what to do.
It looks like $wgDBTableOptions has been set to just the string "UTF-8". Can you double-check the value in your LocalSettings.php? It should be something like "ENGINE=InnoDB CHARSET=utf8" if you're using the UTF-8 schema.
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDBTableOptions for more info on this setting.
