status: allow --untracked=false and friends
It is natural to expect that the "--untracked" option and the
status.showuntrackedFiles configuration variable to take a Boolean
value ("do you want me to show untracked files?"), but the current
code takes nothing but "no" as "no, please do not show any".
Allow the usual Boolean values to be given, and treat 'true' as
"normal", and 'false' as "no".
