Restore API compatibility with 5.5.0 and earlier releases
224f4c5#commitcomment-145297850 notes that the change from boolean to Boolean is a breaking change in the API.
It seems easiest and safest to restore API compatibility rather than requiring lock-step upgrades from consumers of the API. Jenkins (as an example) allows users to upgrade the GitLab API plugin without requiring that they upgrade the GitLab branch source plugin. When that happens, the breaking change in the API causes runtime failures for Jenkins users.
jenkinsci/gitlab-branch-source-plugin#435 reports some of those runtime failures.
JENKINS-73672 reports more runtime failures due to the breaking change in the API.
Fixes #1155
