'bool' is defined in random places. This patch consolidates them into a
single typedef, using _Bool introduced in C99.

Signed-off-by: York Sun <yorksun@freescale.com>
---
Change since v1:
 Move 'false' and 'true' to the common header file.

Need help from other arch maintainers to test it. I could only test powerpc.

Please see Måns Rullgård's comment about using stdbool.h instead.

Then please make sure that a sufficient number of tool chains as well
as configurations using USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC continue to work, i. e. in
a first step verify that these are still compile-clean.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Thank you for taking this on, it's definately in need of cleanup. 

There are also many duplicate definitions of the upper case variants
(BOOL/TRUE/FALSE).  Those should get fixed too.

Linux defines true/false as an enum type in stddef.h, since u-boot
already has a copy of this Linux header, shouldn't it go in there?

Isn't stdbool.h more for backward compatability for user space
programs, so only newer C99 aware programs can opt-in to the new data
type?  Linux for example doesn't use stdbool.h, it puts the definition
of "bool" in types.h, and true/false in stddef.h.  Since, like Linux,
u-boot is a single codebase, all the data types can go in a common
place and not have to worry about breaking old programs with new
types.

If you cc me on newer versions of the patch I can help verify on
tegra, which uses USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC.
