Keren Zhou 3baab48eaf [FRONTEND] Differentiate between bool and int in the frontend (#1678) ...

`bool` is a subclass of `int`, so `isinstance(bool_var, int) == True`,
and a `bool` constant will be converted to an `int` constant.

In triton specifically, if a bool var is treated as an integer, it
prevents us using the `logical_and` operator which requires both
operands have the same bit length.

By differentiating int and bool, it allows us to make the syntax more
close to native python. We can now use `if bool_var and condition` to
check the truthiness, and `if bool_var is True` to check identity.
