[llvm] [MsgPack] Use JSON schema boolean resolution rules (PR #170561)

[Scott Linder via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/slinder1 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/170561

Since YAMLIO generally knows the types ahead of time (since it primarily functions to (de)serialize concrete C++ types) "tag resolution" isn't really a meaningful isssue.

With MsgPackDocument we permit arbitrary documents with arbitrary type nodes, and so the YAML "NO" problem is an issue.

Address this in MsgPackDocument itself to avoid a significant and far-reaching backwards-incompatible change to YAMLIO (although we could still consider tightening things up there in the future). Use the "JSON Schema" for tag resolution where the only literals to resolve to bool by default are "true" and "false".

Subject: [PATCH] [MsgPack] Use JSON schema boolean resolution rules

Since YAMLIO generally knows the types ahead of time (since it primarily
functions to (de)serialize concrete C++ types) "tag resolution" isn't
really a meaningful isssue.

With MsgPackDocument we permit arbitrary documents with arbitrary type
nodes, and so the YAML "NO" problem is an issue.

Address this in MsgPackDocument itself to avoid a significant and
far-reaching backwards-incompatible change to YAMLIO (although we could
still consider tightening things up there in the future). Use the "JSON
Schema" for tag resolution where the only literals to resolve to bool by
default are "true" and "false".
