Felix Arntz b77b8fd822 Options, Meta APIs: Fix minor compatibility issue with update_option() change.
When calling `update_option()` with value `false` on a non-existent option, prior to [56681] the function would have returned `false` and not stored the value in the database, since the given value was the same as the default.

The aforementioned changeset broke that promise with good intention, however this particular change was a backward compatibility break and therefore is resolved here.

Props mukesh27, costdev.
Fixes #22192.

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.
