I noticed that some boolean parameters have missing default values
(enabled/disabled) in the documentation so i checked the initialization
functions to get their default values, also there was some inconsistency
in the representation. During the process , i stumbled upon a typo in
cipso_rbm_struct_valid instead of cipso_rbm_struct_valid. 

- Fixed typo in cipso_rbm_struct_valid
- Added missing default value declarations
- Standardized boolean representation (0/1 with enabled/disabled)

Thank you for the documentation improvements! I do think its a bit more
clear to include the "(enabled)" or "(disabled)".

Would it make sense to use "0 (disabled)" and "1 (enabled)" with
parenthesis for consistency with the default value?
