 There's a "pre_add_site_option_" (and a "pre_update_") apply_filters, but
 no "pre_add_option_" hook

 Since there recently was some discussion about adding one for "delete" too
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/44042 I guess it would make sense
 to also add the hook for "add".

 This would also ensure the commonly used "workaround" (where "pre_update_"
 is filtered) of using delete_option => add_option can be prevented.
