 Right now if an option is not added with add_option and subsequently
 updated it will  be added as autoload yes. This would work fine in most
 cases. But it becomes a problem if the total size of autoload options
 exceed 1024*1024-42 bytes with memecache with default configuration and
 object cache with memcache backend. Also storing 1024*1024 bytes of data
 per blog in a very large multi site environment is not best use of
 resources.

 I propose update_option to add options with autoload no as many developers
 just use update_option to even add options.
