After a few minutes' more thought, I think that the most attractive
option is to leave v11 alone and do a full revert in HEAD. In this
way, if anyone's attached "recheck_on_update" options to their indexes,
it'll continue to work^H^H^H^Hdo nothing in v11, though they won't be
able to migrate to v12 till they remove the options. That way we
aren't bound to the questionable design and naming of that storage
option if/when we try this again.
A revert in v11 would have ABI compatibility issues to think about,
and would also likely be a bunch more work on top of what we'll
have to do for HEAD, so leaving it as-is seems like a good idea.
