As Yann said in
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20220114171847.634174-1-fontaine.fabrice@gmail.com,
it significantly increases the build time of host-boost, and for no
good reason.

We discussed with Arnout, and we prefer to keep things as they are
today: progressively enable the host-boost features that are needed by
our packages, when needed. With luck, our CPUs will grow in computing
power faster than we enable host-boost features, and we won't see a
visible build time increase.

Worst case, we can always add package/boost/Config.in.host with some
blind options BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_BOOST_xyz that other packages can select
to request enabling a particular feature in a host package they depend
on.
