tools: Clone the kernel's strtobool function

Copying it to tools/lib/string.c, the counterpart to the kernel's
lib/string.c.

This is preparation for enhancing BPF program configuration, which will
allow config string like 'inlines=yes'.

[ Copied it to tools/lib/string.c instead, to make it usable by other tools/ ]
