JQuery Serialize Method with Checkbox False Output

Modification to jquery serialize() method, to optionally support boolean serialization instead of standard http-form-submission-compliant checkbox serialization (name=value on true only).

To easily consume serialization data generated with this "checkboxesAsBools" option, you can use the "jquery.deserialize" plugin: https://github.com/itsadok/jquery.deserialize

Thanks, bur missing type email in rinput.
