 Following r57920, WordPress will now use one of 'on', 'off', 'auto-on',
 'auto-off', or 'auto' for the autoload value stored in the DB, while still
 supporting the previous 'yes' and 'no' values for backwards compatibility.

 However, there are still many places in core that will create new options
 using the previous values. These should be updated to use the new schema
 for consistency.

 Most notably, `populate_options()` sets options on a new site using the
 previous 'yes' or 'no' values.

 Other functions to update:

 * `set_transient()`
 * `add_network_option()`
 * `wp_ajax_wp_compression_test()`

 There may be others that I missed in a quick scan of the codebase, but
 those should cover most cases.
