Name the stored strings instead of implying booleans

The note explained a string comparison but wrote the values as if they were
booleans, which is the exact confusion it exists to clear up. Both places now
say which string was stored and which one the daemon accepts.

`g_strcmp0(value, "true") == 0`, so it accepts only the exact string
`"true"`. Python's `str(True)` stored the string `"True"`, which did not
match and was therefore read as false, leaving verification on for anyone
who asked to disable it. The default stored the string `"False"`, which is
also not `"true"` and so was correctly read as false.
