Handle bool specially in gdb.set_parameter
PR python/29217 points out that gdb.parameter will return bool values, but gdb.set_parameter will not properly accept them. This patch fixes the problem by adding a special case to set_parameter. I looked at a fix involving rewriting set_parameter in C++. However, this one is simpler. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29217
