[1991] moved boost-related config to a separate m4

in order to keep the main configure.ac more concise, and so that we can
eventually introduce more fine-grained configuration (e.g., skipping some
checks for DNS/DHCP-only build)

At the moment, this is just a cleanup, and doesn't change the behavior itself.

+dnl @synopsis AX_BOOST_FOR_BIND10
+dnl
+dnl Test for the Boost C++ header files intended to be used within BIND 10
+dnl
+dnl If no path to the installed boost header files is given via the
+dnl --with-boost-include option,  the macro searchs under
+dnl /usr/local /usr/pkg /opt /opt/local directories.
+dnl If it cannot detect any workable path for Boost, this macro treats it
+dnl as a fatal error (so it cannot be called if the availability of Boost
+dnl is optional).
+dnl
+dnl This macro also tries to identify some known portability issues, and
+dnl sets corresponding variables so the caller can react to (or ignore,
+dnl depending on other configuration) specific issues appropriately.
+dnl
+dnl This macro calls:
+dnl
+dnl   AC_SUBST(BOOST_INCLUDES)
+dnl
+dnl And possibly sets:
+dnl   CPPFLAGS_BOOST_THREADCONF should be added to CPPFLAGS by caller
+dnl   BOOST_OFFSET_PTR_WOULDFAIL set to yes if offset_ptr would cause build
+dnl                              error; otherwise set to no
