Commit bc38c2a added the ability to set
acl_public from the config file -- but it did not take into account that
it is a 'tri-state' value so the string is what is written, causing it
to ALWAYS be true.
This results in unexpected and insecure behavior if 'acl_public = False'
is used in the config file.
This patch modifies the Config.update_option to check the option type
AND the value if the original is None. If an option's default is None
and the value is a bool (true, false, yes, no, 0, 1) then it will set it
to a bool value.
