 As of WordPress 6.6, `add_option()` and `update_option()` encourage using
 a boolean for the `$autoload` parameter rather than strings `'yes'` and
 `'no'`.

 #61929 makes the same update to the more recently introduced option
 autoloading functions from WordPress 6.4.

 While the old values remain supported for backward compatibility, it makes
 sense for core to no longer use strings for the `$autoload` parameter of
 the various function calls.

 Note: Also related is #61103, however that ticket is focused on explicitly
 setting an autoload values where previously none was provided, which is a
 different purpose (and certainly a more complex one than this right here).
