fancyopts: disallow true as a boolean flag default (API)

This was nonsense, as there's not been a way for the user to
un-specify the flag. Restricting this behavior will open the door to
some nice fit-and-finish functionality in a later patch, and shouldn't
break any third party extensions. This is marked as (API) since it
might break a third party extension, but given the fact that it was
silly before that's mostly a formality.

Due to how early parsing of global options works, we have to add some
extra coupling between fancyopts and dispatch so that we can provide a
"default" of True for already-parsed boolean flags when doing
command-level flag parsing.
