compiler: Map host numpy.bool_ values to TBool

Since we don't implement any integer-like operations for TBool
(addition, bitwise not, etc.), TBool is currently neither
strictly equivalent to builtin bool nor numpy.bool_, but through
very obvious compiler errors (operation not supported) rather than
silently different runtime behaviour.

Just mapping both to TBool thus is a huge improvement over the
current behaviour (where numpy.False_ is a true-like object). In
the future, we could still implement more operations for TBool,
presumably following numpy.bool_ rather than the builtin type,
just like builtin integers get translated to the numpy-like
TInt{32,64}.

GitHub: Fixes #1275.
