Subject: [PATCH] Fix ADIOS Trait for `bool`

For default I/O and checkpointing via ADIOS, simulations using
our in situ radiation plugin with selected particles (by stride
or gamma) did not compile since ADIOS' C API does not define a
`bool` type for `radiationFlag`.

This adds a trait assuming it can be casted to one byte.
