Nice job!
I'm not entirely enthusiastic about the option names though. Would it
help to split the setting into several?

For example:
\pset borders-inside double single (double horizontal inside borders,
single vertical)
\pset borders-outside double

Or, since you can't really mix outside border-styles:
\pset border-style <outside> <horizontal> <vertical>

I'm not sure whether it would be desirable to have more control over
inside borders, for example per column or row (or even cells)?

Just something to ponder ;)
