[issue13853] SystemExit/sys.exit() doesn't print boolean argument

[Jon Brandvein]

New submission from Jon Brandvein <jon.brandvein at gmail.com>:

Raising SystemExit manually, or calling sys.exit, with an argument of "True" or "False" results in no output to the screen. According to Doc/library/exceptions.rst and Doc/library/sys.rst, any object that is not an integer or None should be printed to stderr.

Also, I'm not sure whether this is a bug, but "raise SystemExit(None)" differs from "sys.exit(None)", in that the former produces an exception with an args tuple of "(None,)", and the latter produces one with an empty args tuple.
