Boone Gorges 67324a9234 Introduce $autoload parameter to update_option().
When creating an option via `add_option()`, the `$autoload` param allows you to
tell WP whether the option should be loaded as part of the 'alloptions' cache
during every pageload. `update_option()`, when used with a non-existent option
calls `add_option()` internally. The new `$autoload` param in `update_option()`
is passed along to `add_option()` in cases where the option does not yet exist.

The associated unit tests are skipped on multisite due to an issue that causes
`WP_INSTALLING` to force cache misses. See #31130.

Props codix, nofearinc, MikeHansenMe.
Fixes #26394.

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.
