Create contrib/bool_plperl to provide a bool transform for PL/Perl[U].
plperl's default handling of bool arguments or results is not terribly
satisfactory, since Perl doesn't consider the string 'f' to be false.
Ideally we'd just fix that, but the backwards-compatibility hazard
would be substantial. Instead, build a TRANSFORM module that can
be optionally applied to provide saner semantics.
Perhaps usefully, this is also about the minimum possible skeletal
example of a plperl transform module; so it might be a better starting
point for user-written transform modules than hstore_plperl or
jsonb_plperl.
