jit: Correct parameter type for generated expression evaluation functions.

clang only uses the 'i1' type for scalar booleans, not for pointers to
booleans (as the pointer might be pointing into a larger memory
allocation). Therefore a pointer-to-bool needs to the "storage" boolean.

There's no known case of wrong code generation due to this, but it seems quite
possible that it could cause problems (see e.g. 72559438f92).
