[c/en] Fixed mistakes & added clarifications regarding the C standard

* Reference to C23 `constexpr` constants

* Note on `long long` only being supported since C99

* Clarification about the `_Bool`/`bool` type in section on comparisons

* Fixed incorrect explanation about null statements

* Replaced boolean typedef, which in it's original form would not
  compile when using the C23 standard (which is due to become the
  default for gcc)

* Updated outdated information on binary literals

* Added `%b` binary conversion specifier
