zeroconf: fix boolean return value

This was (wrongly) flagged by Pytype as being undefined since it doesn't
seem to understand `try` blocks. However, the caller is expecting a boolean
and the fix to appease Pytype is simple, so we do both.

# This module serves 2 roles:
#
# 1) Export the C or CFFI "backend" through a central module.
# 2) Implement additional functionality built on top of C or CFFI backend.

import os
import platform

# Some Python implementations don't support C extensions. That's why we have
# a CFFI implementation in the first place. The code here import one of our
# "backends" then re-exports the symbols from this module. For convenience,
# we support falling back to the CFFI backend if the C extension can't be
# imported. But for performance reasons, we only do this on unknown Python
# implementation. Notably, for CPython we require the C extension by default.
# Because someone will inevitably want special behavior, the behavior is
# configurable via an environment variable. A potentially better way to handle
# this is to import a special ``__importpolicy__`` module or something
# defining a variable and `setup.py` could write the file with whatever
# policy was specified at build time. Until someone needs it, we go with
# the hacky but simple environment variable approach.
