 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="56370"
 Options, Meta APIs: Expand `$autoload` parameter documentation.

 This changeset expands documentation of the `$autoload` parameter of the
 `add_option()` and `update_option()` functions, in order to provide more
 context on what autoloading is and which considerations should go into the
 decision whether to autoload an option.

 Excessive autoloading of options can lead to severe performance problems
 on some sites, and lack of documentation is a partial cause for the issue.

 Props rajinsharwar.
 Fixes #58963.
