Add constexpr to conversion operator for bool integral constants

Add constexpr to conversion operator for integral constants

What needs to be done with them? Release or revert?

Good question. I did mention these to the Boost Maint people but I am not experienced enough in the use of C++11 'constexpr' to know whether or not its use in the MPL in these situations is worthwhile. Perhaps others, you or Daniel James or someone in Boost maint would know this. Also are David Abrahams or Alexsey Gurtovoy paying attention to MPL anymore ?
