Use the data type bool and its values true and false to document the
binary return value of skip_prefix() and friends more explicitly.
This first use of stdbool.h, introduced with C99, is meant to check
whether there are platforms that claim support for C99, as tested by
7bc341e21b (git-compat-util: add a test balloon for C99 support,
2021-12-01), but still lack that header for some reason.
A fallback based on a wider type, e.g. int, would have to deal with
comparisons somehow to emulate that any non-zero value is true:
bool b1 = 1;
bool b2 = 2;
if (b1 == b2) puts("This is true.");
int i1 = 1;
int i2 = 2;
if (i1 == i2) puts("Not printed.");
#define BOOLEQ(a, b) (!(a) == !(b))
if (BOOLEQ(i1, i2)) puts("This is true.");
So we'd be better off using bool everywhere without a fallback, if
possible. That's why this patch doesn't include any.
