[PATCH v2 2/3] libgit-rs: add get_bool() method to ConfigSet

From: ionnss via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date: Sep 27, 2025, 00:07 UTC
Message-ID: <a5904a2ac00ea6de142344272b45f6b4697b4f98.1758931659.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.1977.v2.git.1758931659.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: ionnss <zara.leonardo@gmail.com>

Add support for parsing boolean configuration values in the Rust ConfigSet API. The method follows Git's standard boolean parsing rules, accepting true/yes/on/1 as true and false/no/off/0 as false.

The implementation reuses the existing get_string() infrastructure and adds case-insensitive boolean parsing logic.
