 In [changeset:"38982"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="38982"
 REST API: Return `WP_Error` when a client is attempting to update an
 option with a non-scalar value to `null`.

 A `null` value is returned in the response for any option that has a non-
 scalar value.

 To protect clients from accidentally including the `null` values from a
 response object in a request, we do not allow options with non-scalar
 values to be updated to `null`. Without this added protection a client
 could mistakenly delete all options that have non-scalar values from the
 database.

 Props joehoyle, rachelbaker.
 Fixes #38527.
