refactor(options)!: make OptionSet `v:` values use typval

BREAKING CHANGE: This breaks the OptionSet autocommand, as the `v:` values associated with it (`v:option_new`, `v:option_old`, `v:option_oldlocal` and `v:option_oldglobal`) are now the same type as the option, instead of all option values being converted to strings.
