This ticket represents work being doing on a new `Boolean` PMC that does
not inherit from `Integer`. The work is being done in the sleeker_boolean
branch. The central idea, suggested by chromatic, is to eliminate the
dependency on `Integer` and store the boolean value in a `PObj` flag.
I have implemented a new PMC that passes the boolean tests. It looks like
boolean operations are about 20% faster, primarily due to the fact that
they don't require allocating attribute blocks.
