| Why not use the C99 bool?

Because it is being abused to hold a small int; i.e. some of the csh bool's
need to hold different values (eg. [0, 1, 2, 3] for dolflg
or [0..16] for child), and this breaks when we use real bools.

I started fixing the non boolean ones to int, and making the boolean ones use
true/false, but it was too much churn, so I opted for the easy way out.
