Creating a new option

1. Go to options_interface.ts and add the option to OptionDefinitions, specifying its intended data type (boolean, string, number). Note that in the end the option will still be stored as a string, but this aids in type safety across the application.
2. To add a new option with a set default, go to options_init.ts in the server and add a new entry in the defaultOptions.
3. Make the option adjustable by the client
   By default options are not adjustable or visible to the client. To do so, modify routes/api/options.ts to add the newly added option to ALLOWED_OPTIONS.
