 In `set_transient()`, the only way to prevent transients from using the
 wp_options table is by using a custom object-cache.php drop-in.

 This isn't consistent with `get_transient()`, which does have a filter to
 short-circuit transient retrieval (pre_transient_*).

 This patch allows plugins to bypass the options table when saving
 transients.

 '''Full disclosure:''' I'm writing a plugin to store transients in a
 separate table, instead of cluttering wp_options. Reference:
