1.3.10 started returning Optional[false] for non existent boolean properties
In 1.3.9, `config.getOptionalValue("NON_EXISTENT_PROPERTY", Boolean.class)`, returns `Optional.empty`

In 1.3.10, the same call started returning `Optional[false]` instead. This is a backward incompatible change in behavior and is not consistent with the behavior for types other than boolean, for which this call still returns `Optional.empty`.
