This is the main bulk of this boolification work, but although it's
making the largest actual change, it should also be the least
disruptive to anyone interacting with this code base downstream of me,
because it doesn't modify any interface between modules: all the
inter-module APIs were updated one by one in the previous commits.
This just cleans up the code within each individual source file to use
bool in place of int where I think that makes things clearer.

This commit removes the old #defines of TRUE and FALSE from puzzles.h,
and does a mechanical search-and-replace throughout the code to
replace them with the C99 standard lowercase spellings.

This shouldn't be a disruptive change at all: findloop_run and
findloop_is_loop_edge now return bool in place of int, but client code
should automatically adjust without needing any changes.

In the course of another recent project I had occasion to read up on
Tarjan's bridge-finding algorithm. This analyses an arbitrary graph
and finds 'bridges', i.e. edges whose removal would increase the
number of connected components. This is precisely the dual problem to
error-highlighting loops in games like Slant that don't permit them,
because an edge is part of some loop if and only if it is not a
bridge.
Having understood Tarjan's algorithm, it seemed like a good idea to
actually implement it for use in these puzzles, because we've got a
long and dishonourable history of messing up the loop detection in
assorted ways and I thought it would be nice to have an actually
reliable approach without any lurking time bombs. (That history is
chronicled in a long comment at the bottom of the new source file, if
anyone is interested.)
So, findloop.c is a new piece of reusable library code. You run it
over a graph, which you provide in the form of a vertex count and a
callback function to iterate over the neighbours of each vertex, and
it fills in a data structure which you can then query to find out
whether any given edge is part of a loop in the graph or not.
