fix regression in converting build_target kwargs to typed_kwargs

We haven't actually verified that these kwargs are equal to what we had
before, and should probably revert the entire series. But I have
multiple reports in the wild of projects that no longer build because of
`install: [true, false, get_option('foobar')]` which was always
incorrect and always equal to just dropping values all over the floor
and treating it the same as "bool(value) == True".

Special case this particular typed kwarg and allow it with a sternly
worded warning that it was always wrong and should never ever ever be
done.
