 If `wp_protect_special_option` is called with $option == 0 it will die. I
 have a client for whom this took down their entire WordPress install. Now,
 I assume that some plugin or some such should not have been passing zero
 as an option name, so that's another bug. But a buggy plugin should not be
 able to take down an entire install so carelessly.

 Fix is trivial. Have `in_array` use strict checking. Patch is attached.
