Evaluating sizeof over __CPROVER_bool requires special cases

__CPROVER_bool is just a single bit, and not part of any language standard
describing the semantics of sizeof. We can declare arrays of __CPROVER_bool,
which will thus have elements that are not aligned on byte boundaries. Using
sizeof with such an array thus requires specific handling.
