fix(options): crash on ":let &t_Co = v:true" #41152

Problem:
Assigning a Boolean or special value (v:true/v:false/v:null/v:none) to a TTY
option aborts:

    Assertion failed: (curval.type == newval.type), function ex_let_option, file vars.c, line 1408.

Solution:
Apply the string-type check to TTY options too, so a Boolean/special value
gives "E928: String required" instead of aborting. Valid string/number
assignments to `t_*` pseudo-options still silently no-op.
