ACK

Although I do note that virTypedParamsGetBoolean() has a slightly
different call flow than other similar functions...

That is usually it's

virResetLastError()
virTypedParamsGet()
VIR_TYPED_PARAM_CHECK_TYPE()

but, GetBoolean swaps ResetLast and TypedParamsGet()

Since this is a cleanup of sorts - just thought it may be useful to be
consistent.
