Fix
src/database/ObjectStore.cpp
so that it can recover from the case where it finds a "true" or "false" string in a table field where it was expecting a boolean (or actually a 0 or 1, since SQLite doesn't have native booleans).I'm not sure how we end up with a string in a boolean field, but it can happen -- see #766. Given that we can automatically recover (provided the string holds something sane), we should.
I've tested this locally by manually modifying my DB but, as ever, any corrections or comments are welcome!
