Sergey Biryukov e834fed6eb Options, Meta APIs: Check if the gmt_offset value is numeric in sanitize_option().
When saving the settings via the admin UI, the default value for any options not passed in the current `$_POST` request is set to `null` in `wp-admin/options.php`. Some options, e.g. `blog_public`, then rely on `null` being passed to `update_option()` to determine whether the value was changed or not.

This commit resolves a PHP 8.1 deprecation notice when saving the `gmt_offset` option without any changes:
{{{
Deprecated: preg_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated
}}}

Includes a similar fix for the `blog_charset` option.

Follow-up to [4112], [4329], [5541], [21849].
