feat: add parseBoolean utils

[scmmishra]

This PR adds a new function, parseBoolean, to the library. This function takes a single argument, candidate, which can be either a string or a number, and attempts to parse it as a boolean value. If the parsing is successful, the parsed boolean value is returned. If the parsing fails (e.g. the input is not a valid boolean string), the function returns false.

Usage

const result = parseBoolean('true'); // true
const result = parseBoolean(1); // true
const result = parseBoolean('not a boolean'); // false

This function can be used when you want to parse a string or number which is expected to be boolean in nature and need to ensure it returns boolean only.
