 Branching this off of #50413.

 The global variable `$new_whitelist_options` should be replaced with a
 more inclusive name. Because this is a global that a
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01EB6R99EVDB9V62GHTTTE0FTN handful of
 plugins reference directly], care should be taken when renaming it.

 I propose renaming the current variable (something like
 `$new_allowed_options`), but maintaining the current variable for a period
 of time (maybe two releases?), and triggering a `_doing_it_wrong()`
 notice.
