1 and 0 should be valid bool values #106

Currently these both fail:

    BitArray('bool=1')
    pack('bool', 0)

as they require the bool to be 'True' or 'False'. Would be nice to allow them.

Care is needed with the string 'False'...

    BitArray('bool=False')  # a 0 bit
    pack('bool', False)     # a 0 bit
    pack('bool', 'False')   # ??? bool('False') is True
