/**
* Filters whether to automatically update core, a plugin, a theme, or a language.
*
* The dynamic portion of the hook name, `$type`, refers to the type of update
* being checked. Potential hook names include:
*
* - `auto_update_core`
* - `auto_update_plugin`
* - `auto_update_theme`
* - `auto_update_translation`
*
* Generally speaking, plugins, themes, and major core versions are not updated
* by default, while translations and minor and development versions for core
* are updated by default.
*
* See the {@see 'allow_dev_auto_core_updates'}, {@see 'allow_minor_auto_core_updates'},
* and {@see 'allow_major_auto_core_updates'} filters for a more straightforward way to
* adjust core updates.
*
* @since 3.7.0
* @since 5.5.0 The `$update` parameter accepts the value of null.
*
* @param bool|null $update Whether to update. The value of null is internally used
* to detect whether nothing has hooked into this filter.
* @param object $item The update offer.
