 `WP_Customize_Setting::_update_option()` calls `update_option()` for us,
 but it doesn't currently provide a way to use the `$autoload` parameter
 that was added to `update_option()` in 4.2. So, it seems tricky to avoid
 autoloading options that are managed exclusively through the Customizer.

 I'm not sure whether a Customizer-specific filter would be the best way to
 change this behavior, but the attached patch would add one in
 `WP_Customize_Setting::_update_option()`.

 Adding a property to `WP_Customize_Setting` didn't seem like the right
 choice because multiple settings can affect the same option. But an
 alternative approach might be something that can be used in any
 `add_option()` or `update_option()` call.
