Felix Arntz a22fee0e5a Options, Meta APIs: Introduce wp_set_option_autoload_values().
This function accepts an associative array of option names and their autoload values to set, and it will update those values in the database in bulk, only for those options where the autoload field is not already set to the given value.

Two wrapper functions for ease of use accompany the new main function:
* `wp_set_options_autoload( $options, $autoload )` can be used to set multiple options to the same autoload value.
* `wp_set_option_autoload( $option, $autoload )` can be used to set the autoload value for a single option.

All of these functions allow changing the autoload value of an option, which previously has only been possible in combination with updating the value. This limitation prevented some relevant use-cases: For example, a plugin deactivation hook could set all of its options to not autoload, as a cleanup routine, while not actually deleting any data. The plugin's activation hook could then implement the reverse, resetting those options' autoload values to the originally intended ones for when using the plugin.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory. All files in that directory will be included by default. Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run. This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs. Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
