[7.x] Update schemas boolean, byteSize, and duration to coerce strings (#54177)

 Validates input data as a [string](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/advanced-types.html#string-literal-types), [numeric](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/advanced-types.html#numeric-literal-types) or boolean literal.

 __Notes:__
-* The string value for `schema.byteSize()` and its options supports the following prefixes: `b`, `kb`, `mb`, `gb` and `tb`.
+* The string value for `schema.byteSize()` and its options supports the following optional suffixes: `b`, `kb`, `mb`, `gb` and `tb`. The default suffix is `b`.
 * The number value is treated as a number of bytes and hence should be a positive integer, e.g. `100` is equal to `'100b'`.
 * Currently you cannot specify zero bytes with a string format and should use number `0` instead.
