options: increase consistency between list options and document them

Whenever I deal with this, I have to look at the code to make sense of
this. And beyond that, there are some strange inconsistencies. (I think
this code is cursed. It always was, and maybe always will be.)

Although the manpage claimed that using multiple items for -add etc. is
deprecated, string list options didn't warn against it. So add the
warning, and add something in the changelog (even though nobody will
ever read this).

The manpage mentioned --vf-append, but this didn't even exist. So add
it, I guess. We encourage using -append for the other option types, so
for consistency, it should work on filter options. (And I already
tricked me into believing it existed when I mentioned it in the
manpage.)

Make the "operations" table separate for all option types, and mention
the option type on every single of the top-level list options.
