Rachel Baker 3ffefccdf2 REST API: Return WP_Error when a client is attempting to update an option with a non-scalar value to null.
A `null` value is returned in the response for any option that has a non-scalar value.

To protect clients from accidentally including the `null` values from a response object in a request, we do not allow options with non-scalar values to be updated to `null`. Without this added protection a client could mistakenly delete all options that have non-scalar values from the database.

Props joehoyle, rachelbaker.
Fixes #38527.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
