Reference on bool incorrectly claims that all primitives implement certain traits #2408
Description
Location: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/reference/types/boolean.html#r-type.bool.traits
Like all primitives, the boolean type implements the traits Clone, Copy, Sized, Send, and Sync.
Going over the primitive types, there is a counterexample for each of these. In particular, slices and str implement none of the first 3, raw pointers none of the remaining 2.
This should just say "Like many/most primitives".

@rustbot claim
Will update the sentence to say "Like most primitives" instead of "all primitives", since
str/slices don't implementClone/Copy/Sizedand raw pointers don't implementSend/Sync.
