Description:
We have a variety of misuses of my_bool, in particular cases where it's not actually used to hold a boolean, but something else (like e.g. TRUE/FALSE/UNKNOWN, or a value from 0 to 5).

In addition, we have a number of places that assume my_bool _is_ char, through implicit pointer casting. These should also be fixed.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Varies from case to case.

Code cleanup. No changelog entry needed.
