Felix Arntz bfbcb02444 Options, Meta APIs: Improve logic to avoid unnecessary database writes in update_option().
Prior to this change, a strict comparison between the old and new database value could lead to a false negative, since database values are generally stored as strings. For example, passing an integer to `update_option()` would almost always result in an update given any existing database value for that option would be that number cast to a string.

This changeset adjusts the logic to perform an intentional "loose-y" comparison by casting the values to strings. Extensive coverage previously added in [56648] provides additional confidence that this does not introduce any backward compatibility issues.

Fixes #22192.
