/**
* Filter to override clearing all events attached to the hook.
*
* Returning a non-null value will short-circuit the normal unscheduling
* process, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.
*
* For plugins replacing wp-cron, return the number of events successfully
* unscheduled (zero if no events were registered with the hook). If unscheduling
* one or more events fails then return either a WP_Error object or false depending
* on the value of the `$wp_error` parameter.
*
* @since 5.1.0
* @since 5.7.0 The `$wp_error` parameter was added, and a `WP_Error` object can now be returned.
*
* @param null|int|false|WP_Error $pre Value to return instead. Default null to continue unscheduling the hook.
* @param string $hook Action hook, the execution of which will be unscheduled.
* @param bool $wp_error Whether to return a WP_Error on failure.
