General: Rename the $new_whitelist_options global variable.

This change renames `$new_whitelist_options` to `$new_allowed_options`. This makes the variable’s purpose more clear, and promotes using more inclusive language.

For backwards compatibility, the new variable is passed by reference to the old one.

Follow up to [48121].
