Require sizeof(bool) == 1.
The C standard says that sizeof(bool) is implementation-defined, but we know of no current systems where it is not 1. The last known systems seem to have been Apple macOS/PowerPC 10.5 and Microsoft Visual C++ 4, both long defunct. PostgreSQL has always required sizeof(bool) == 1 for the definition of bool that it used, but previously it would define its own type if the system-provided bool had a different size. That was liable to cause memory layout problems when interacting with system and third-party libraries on (by now hypothetical) computers with wider _Bool, and now C23 has introduced a new problem by making bool a built-in datatype (like C++), so the fallback code doesn't even compile. We could probably work around that, but then we'd be writing new untested code for a computer that doesn't exist. Instead, delete the unreachable and C23-uncompilable fallback code, and let existing static assertions fail if the system-provided bool is too wide. If we ever get a problem report from a real system, then it will be time to figure out what to do about it in a way that also works on modern compilers. Note on C++: Previously we avoided including <stdbool.h> or trying to define a new bool type in headers that might be included by C++ code. These days we might as well just include <stdbool.h> unconditionally: it should be visible to C++11 but do nothing, just as in C23. We already include <stdint.h> without C++ guards in c.h, and that falls under the same C99-compatibility section of the C++11 standard as <stdbool.h>, so let's remove the guards here too.
