msetup: do not print bogus "Option ... is:" messages

get_non_matching_default_options is checking a string from
project_default_options against a validated value from
coredata.options.

Passing the string to validate_value ensures that the comparison
is sound; otherwise, "false" might be compared against False
and a bogus difference is printed.
