strutil: Assume bool is true when no value is specified

Adjust the string to boolean conversion for an edge case. Accept empty
text (either NULL or empty strings) to mean true instead of false.

This behaviour is more useful from the user's point of view, when the
option's name alone will enable a feature, and an explicit "option=yes"
specification is not strictly necessary. All calling applications in
mainline already implemented this semantics.
