System Information
Operating system: Windows 7
GPU: Radeon Vega 64, Divider version: 19.12.2
CPU: Intel Core i7-5960X

Blender Version

Broken: blender-2.80-f6cb5f54494e-windows64 (official release) and after
Working: blender-2.79b-f4dc9f9d68b-windows64 (official release)

Short description of error

One of the areas that keying has been removed from is in
Properties Editor --> Output Properties --> Output notably Overwrite.
This is troublesome as if you have disabled Overwrite for a
number of frames (in 2.79) then open in 2.8x,
this will get disregarded and the frames will be overwritten.
This can be an intermittent issue as depending on when you save in 2.79,
as the value will carry over unchanged/unchanging to 2.8x.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open: Keying_Overwrite.blend

In 2.79b you'll see Overwrite keyed. The markers show when the keyframes are.
In 2.8x you'll see there are no keyframes for Overwrite.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error from scratch

Try to key any of the four toggles in Output Properties.

By keying do you mean Insert a keyframe (shortcut i)?
In 2.79 this is not possible either.
Aren't you using an addon to animate these properties?

@mano-wii: I can animate Overwrite in 2.79b.

This was disabled in b66ae8259e though.

@ideasman42 : not sure about the others, but for Overwrite, I can actually see this being useful?
Were there any issues with this?

The removal of animatibility happened in b66ae8259e without any motivation. @ideasman42 can you explain why this change happened?

@ChristopherAnderssarian you can work around this by simply keeping the 'Overwrite' checkbox unchecked, and deleting those frames you want to re-render.

Added note on the commit for why these animation settings were removed.

Animating UI options lock-interface or display-mode aren't useful, I grouped this option in with those, while it's a little obscure, it works well so added it back.
