Fixed #36926 -- Made admin use boolean icons for related BooleanFields in list_display.

When using related field lookups like 'parent__is_active' in list_display,
the admin now correctly detects if the final field is a BooleanField and
displays boolean icons instead of 'True'/'False' text.

Modified lookup_field() in django/contrib/admin/utils.py to retrieve the
final field from the path when traversing relations using LOOKUP_SEP (__),
allowing display_for_field() to properly handle BooleanFields.
