NullBooleanField to accept lower-case string representations of booleans

Description

JavaScript serializations of forms will sometimes render the boolean values as the strings 'true' and 'false', in lower case. Rather than repeat boilerplate in the JavaScript to circumvent this, it seems reasonable to allow Django to understand the lower-case versions of the booleans.

(If there are reasons this hasn't been done, I apologize; I was unable to find any earlier reference to this.)

Fixed #23129 -- Added 'true' and 'false' to NullBooleanField.

JavaScript serializations of forms will sometimes render the boolean
values as the strings 'true' and 'false', in lower case. Rather than
repeat boilerplate in the JavaScript to circumvent this, it seems
reasonable to allow Django to understand the lower-case versions of the
booleans.
