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.
