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". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
