The constructor of `read_command` is used both by IDL and clients in the
code. However, this constructor has a parameter that is not used by IDL:
`read_timestamp`. This requires that this parameter is the very last in
the list and that new parameters that are used by IDL are added before
it. One such new parameter was `bool is_first_page`. Adding this
parameter right before the read timestamp one created a situation where
the last parameter (read_timestamp) implicitly converts to the one
before it (is_first_page). This means that some call sites passing
`read_timestamp` were now silently converting this to `is_first_page`,
effectively dropping the timestamp.
This patch aims to rectify this, while also avoiding similar accidents
in the future, by making `is_first_page` a `bool_class` which doesn't
have any implicit convertions defined. This change does not break the
ABI as `bool_class` is also sent as a `bool` on the wire.
