11956	Implement backward compatible site options and transients	Denis-de-Bernardy		"I'm watching the number of site options and site transients grow with increasing worry, thinking these will break numbers of plugins that use them in a way or another.

Suggestion to improve backwards compatibility:

 1. We maintain an internal list of site option and site transient names.
 2. When get_option() and get_transient() is called, we check if it's a site option/transient
 3. If so, we return get_site_option() or get_site_transient() accordingly

In other words, if a plugin calls get_option(siteurl), WP translates this internally into get_site_option(siteurl), ''and applies the old-style filters in addition''.
