Description
`pbf_reader::get_packed_bool()` currently calls `get_packed_int32()`. But with a one-byte bool there will never be any endianness or alignment issues so we could optimize this case.

Research direction
Locate pbf_reader::get_packed_bool() and compare its current path with get_packed_int32(). Trace the packed-bool decoding behavior and existing validation around these entry points; done means the one-byte bool case is optimized without changing decoding behavior.
