/**
* Reinterprets a boolean ndarray as an unsigned 8-bit integer ndarray.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   The returned ndarray is a view on the input ndarray data buffer.
* -   The returned ndarray is a "base" ndarray, and, thus, the returned ndarray does not perform bounds checking or afford any of the guarantees of the non-base ndarray constructor. The primary intent of this function is to reinterpret an ndarray-like object within internal implementations and to do so with minimal overhead.
*
* @param x - input ndarray
* @returns unsigned 8-bit integer ndarray view
*
* @example
* var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/zeros' );
*
* var x = zeros( 'bool', [ 2, 2 ], 'row-major' );
* // returns <ndarray>[ [ false, false ], [ false, false ] ]
*
* var out = reinterpretBoolean( x );
* // returns <ndarray>[ [ 0, 0 ], [ 0, 0 ] ]
