Enable native boolean for SQL Server
SQL Server supports what SQLAlchemy calls "native boolean"
with its BIT type, as this type only accepts 0 or 1 and the
DBAPIs return its value as True/False. So the SQL Server
dialects now enable "native boolean" support, in that a
CHECK constraint is not generated for a :class:`.Boolean`
datatype. The only difference vs. other native boolean
is that there are no "true" / "false" constants so "1" and
"0" are still rendered here.
Tests are implicit in the existing suites.
