thorpej a792b8435e Improvements to the problib(3) API:
==> Provide a much more complete set of setters and getters for different
    value types in the prop_array_util(3) and prop_dictionary_util(3)
    functions.

==> Overhaul the prop_data(3), prop_number(3), and prop_string(3) APIs
    to be easier to use and less awkwardly named,  Deprecate the old
    awkward names, and produce link-time warnings when they are referenced.

==> Deprecate mutable prop_data(3) and prop_string(3) objects.  The old
    APIs that support them still exist, but will now produce link-time
    warnings when used.

==> When the new prop_string(3) API is used, strings are internally
    de-duplicated as a memory footprint optimization.

==> Provide a rich set of bounds-checked gettter functions in and a
    corresponding set of convenience setters in the prop_number(3) API.

==> Add a new prop_bool_value(3) function that is equivalent to
    prop_bool_true(3), but aligned with the new "value" routines in
    prop_data(3), prop_string(3), and prop_number(3).

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
family of functions operate on a boolean value property object type.
.Bl -tag -width "xxxxx"
.It Fn prop_bool_create "bool val"
Create a boolean value object with the value
.Fa val .
.It Fn prop_bool_copy "prop_bool_t bool"
Copy a boolean value object.
If the supplied object isn't a boolean,
.Dv NULL
is returned.
.It Fn prop_bool_true "prop_bool_t bool"
.It Fn prop_bool_value "prop_bool_t bool"
Returns the value of the boolean value object.
Both functions are equivalent.
If the supplied object isn't a boolean,
.Dv false
is returned.
