#20719: update_site_option can't handle saving objects

 When using the `update_option` function, if an object is passed as the
 value, the function automatically clones and serializes (if necessary) the
 value before saving, and then `get_option` unserializes (if necessary)
 when retrieving the data.

 `update_site_option` does not do this, so it cannot handle saving objects
 unless you add a workaround using the pre_update_site_option_* filter or
 just check for serializing when saving and retrieving the data. One would
 expect for `update_site_option` to be able to handle objects, too.
