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.
