[clang] [Clang] add -Wshift-bool warning to handle shifting of bool (PR #127336)

[Oleksandr T. via cfe-commits]

Fixes #28334

--- 

This PR introduces the `-Wshift-bool` warning to detect and warn against shifting `bool` values using the `<<` or `>>` operators. Shifting a `bool` implicitly converts it to an `int`, which can lead to unintended behavior.
