closes mochajs#4142

In mochajs#4004 there was a change to use the documented `reporterOption` in favour of the setting that had always been used in practice called `reporterOptions`. This broke a lot of configurations that used the `reporterOptions`, which was the only way it every worked AFAIK.

This changes the documentation to specify `reporterOptions` instead and ensure that any one that has switched to `reporterOption` after upgrade, still works.
