Log:
Remove unneeded guard.
There is no reason why <stdbool.h> needs an include guard. It is already
protected by __bool_true_false_are_defined.

I just thought of this while reviewing the change: should
__bool_true_false_are_defined be set only if __cplusplus is not set?
It should be set for C99, but I wonder if it should be set for C++.
My quick googling didn't show anything at all about the C++ standard
and stdbool.h or __bool_true_false_are_defined. It was probably
originally set because bool, true, and false are all C++ keywords so
certain code that wanted to ifdef on them didn't also need to check
__cplusplus.
I did not find anything definitive either.
Also, is there a style requirement that the guard for a header file
be based off of the name of the file? I did not see anything obvious
for this within style(9), but I am curious.
I think it's just common use to make sure different headers use a
different include guard, so they only protect their contents, not any
other file's. The C standard only mentions the symbols bool, true,
false, and __bool_true_false_are_defined in regards to stdbool.h.
Thank you. I asked since I have only really noticed filename-based
guards in the tree although not all are this way (i.e., bsdxml.h uses
Expat_INCLUDED).
