Add global filters in options API

[pcfreak30]

Currently get_option has

$pre = apply_filters( "pre_option_{$option}", false, $option );

I would like to see:

$pre = apply_filters( "pre_option", false, $option );

and possibly a better filter name. Need this in all option CRUD functions. Use case is allowing any option to be rerouted without knowing the option name ahead of time. In my case dealing with any transients. At present I have to filter the wpdb query hook and do sql rewritng.

Duplicate of #37930.

@SergeyBiryukov this isn't a duplicate as it is needed in delete_option too, and #37930 does not cover that.

#37929 does :) And #37928 covers add_option().
