What would be the simplest way to define the semiring with elements $\{0, 1\}$ with the logical OR ($|$) operation as addition and the standard integer multiplication?

At very least it should be accepted by PolynomialRing as the domain for coefficients.

Is this GF(2)?

No. In $GF(2)$ we have $1+1=0$, while here $1+1=1$.

OPTION #1. Luckily this semiring is a subsemiring of InfinityRing:

sage: from sage.matrix.operation_table import OperationTable
sage: R = InfinityRing
sage: OperationTable([R(0),R(1)], operation=operator.add, names='digits')
+  0 1
 +----
0| 0 1
1| 1 1
sage: OperationTable([R(0),R(1)], operation=operator.mul, names='digits')
*  0 1
 +----
0| 0 0
1| 0 1

There is however a bug in addition, which I reported at https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/34231


OPTION #2. Another approach is to use TropicalSemiring as follows:

R = TropicalSemiring(GF(2), use_min=False)
