Upgrade to boost 1.72.0 fails

[geissonator]

Was trying an upgrade to boost 1.72.0 so we could use sourceforge to download and avoid the issue documented in https://github.com/boostorg/boost/issues/299 but something with the new boost library causes objmgr to fail to compile.

https://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2019/12/90188.php discusses this same issue

[geissonator]

Ahh, and https://github.com/boostorg/coroutine/pull/45 is the issue and there is a patch against 1.72.0 in the release note we can pick up: https://www.boost.org/patches/1_72_0/0001-revert-cease-dependence-on-range.patch

[geissonator]

Here's a quick fix that uses latest boost release and applies the patch they released in the release note:

also see https://github.com/boostorg/coroutine/issues/46 that includes the revert commit.

A drive-by comment: why not use GitHub to download the boost library? I assume GitHub should be stable for most times. E.g. https://github.com/boostorg/boost/archive/boost-1.72.0.tar.gz

I liked this idea but unfortunately the github release doesn't package in the needed tools/build/ scripts. Looks like they are git sub modules and not a part of the package :(
