bc28f76 originally added this, but the implementation isn't correct and causes excessive notifications when writing to other options which may have bad behavior in some some circumstances. Fix this by reworking the implementation for force options so that the timestamps of the option update compared instead. Whenever an option gets changed, the internal timestamp in the cache is always incremented. For a special force option, we can save this timestamp internally as well.
Because cache_check_update is always checked before potentially sending an option notification, we know that if the internal timestamp is equal to the timestamp saved by a force update option, it must have been previously written. Thus, the notification can be sent. This lets options like geometry work repeatedly but without constantly sending notifications. Fixes #13954.
