Make some undocumented options regular/expert (#7805)

We have some options that are currently "undocumented" for no good reason.
This PR makes them regular or expert options.

+Option categories
+-----------------
+
+Every option has one of the following categories that influences where and how an option is visible:
+
+* `common`: Used for the most common options. All `common` options are shown at the very top in both the online documentation and the output of `--help` on the command line.
+* `regular`: This should be used for most options.
+* `expert`: This is for options that should be used with care only. A warning is shown in both the online documentation and the command line help.
+* `undocumented`: Such an option is skipped entirely in both the online documentation and the command line help. This should only be used when users don't have a (reasonable) use case for this option (e.g., because it stores data that is added via another option like for `output` and `outputTagHolder`).
