Use Boost 1.82 for Python 3.11

[dgovil]

USD can't build for Python 3.11 due to older Boost version usage.

We should use Boost 1.82 when detecting Python 3.11 or higher in accordance with VFX Platform 2023

Folks, sorry for comment out of the blue. I am hacking (badly) build_usd.py to build for 3.11 for various reasons. On OSX I was able to change boost to 83 & build/run (mostly) just fine. Tried same on my ubuntu box: boost built (as yet untested) but thier is an issue building USD. Some digging leads to error with sysconfig. Call to sysconfig.get_config_var("LDLIBRARY") gives, 'libpython3.11.a', which does not exist. sysconfig.get_makefile_filename() gives `/lib/python3.11/config-3.11-x86_64-linux-gnu/Makefile' and the (auto-generated) Maklefile is wrong (LDLIBRARY= libpython$(VERSION)$(ABIFLAGS).a).

This is just FYI/heads-up, and a note to keep me in-looped.

Thanks for the libs, all!

Hi @ze897c, which version of Ubuntu are you running? And what method did you use to install Python 3 -- did you go through apt or are you using conda or some other package manager?

@dgovil This seems like it's been addressed. Do you think we can close?
