[libclang/python] Return actual C types from libclang functions instead of Python bool (#166446)

In the previous implementation, 43 libclang functions are registered in
FUNCTION_LIST with return type ctypes.c_bool. However, none of these
functions actually return a C bool type; instead, they return unsigned
or signed integers (unsigned int / int) on the C side.

Although ctypes automatically casts nonzero integers to True and zero to
False, this implicit conversion hides the "true" c-return type.

This PR updates those functions to use their proper “native” ctypes
return types (c_uint or c_int) and updates the corresponding Python
convenience wrappers to explicitly cast their results using the bool
constructor.

As a side effect, the related `# type: ignore` annotations have been
removed, as they are no longer necessary.

Some libclang functions are used directly without any intermediate
Python wrapper. These functions (`clang_equalCursors`,
`clang_equalLocations`, `clang_equalRanges`, `clang_equalTypes`,
`clang_File_isEqual`, and `clang_isFileMultipleIncludeGuarded`) are now
explicitly cast to bool at their call sites. Note that
`clang_isFileMultipleIncludeGuarded` is never called in the binding.

Thix fix #164915.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
