 Currently sidebars are stored in the `sidebars_widgets` option in the
 database which for site with many sidebars can be very inefficient.

 I would like to propose a means of being able to change how the
 information is stored.

 I have introduced two filters that allow a user to have access to the
 information being saved or requested. This is backwards compatible but
 gives the option of using, for example ,a post type to store the data.
