This is an awful hack to support various SimpleNamespace-like operations that qiskit-dynamics are using. We need to transition downstream packages to the new Options API, but in the meantime, this makes the Options class behave as much like a SimpleNamespace as it can, while still keeping the new instance attributes and methods.

This LGTM, thanks for figuring all these hairy things out. Before we tag it automerge and put it in the merge queue though we should verify it works for qiskit-experiments. @eggerdj @nkanazawa1989 @chriseclectic if you could test this that would be great.

I was surprised at how little pylint complained about the actual implementation, but it complains about the usage. This could conceivably be called a pylint bug; because we override `__setattr__`, pylint should perhaps recognise that general attribute setting might be allowed.

This passes the
qiskit-experimentstests on my machine. The real problem is howqiskit-experimentsaccessesoptions.__dict__, so this involves some terrible behaviour to make that work as expected.It's an absolutely horrific hack, and I regret ever learning Python.
@eggerdj - this passes the tests on my machine, but could you check it does everything you need as well?
