install: avoid a portability bug when compiling with non-gcc
* src/install.c (extra_mode): Be careful to return only a 0 or 1 value, since this is a "bool" function, and there are still some compilers for which this is necessary. Without this change, Bernhard Voelker reported that the Forte Developer 7 C 5.4 2002/03/09 compiler would produce a malfunctioning "install" binary. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/17710/focus=17760
