yesno fails with optimization and gcc>=4.7 on x86_64

Hi,

Compiling with -O2 generate codes which mangles the return value from
the yesno function, causing the overwrite prompt to ignore 'n'.

To reproduce:

$ echo "original" >out
$ gzip out
$ echo "replaced" >out
$ gzip out
gzip: out.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? n
$ gzip -cd out.gz
replaced

This can be seen in Arch Linux and Fedora 18 x86_64 builds (and likely
any other distribution using gcc-4.7)

A very helpful person in the gcc bug tracker [1] pointed out it was
probably yesno being declared with two different function declarations.
 And sure enough, the gnulib one declares with bool and gzip.h uses int
as the return value.

The following fixes this for me:

        * gzip.h: Return bool from yesno to be consistent with gnulib.
