[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/2] package/libcpprestsdk: add dependency on Boost.System

[Michael Nosthoff via buildroot]

libcpprestsdk searches for the Boost.System module in its
CMakeLists. Hence it should be selected as a dependency.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 2/2] package/boost: remove dependencies on Boost.System

[Michael Nosthoff via buildroot]

Boost.System is a header only library since Boost 1.69.0 [0].

A Stub Library remained for backward compatibility. This
mainly affects CMake Packages that use FindPackage and
explicitly list 'system'.

For Boost internal modules this is not the case so remove this
dependency.

Buildroot packages should select BR2_PACKAGE_BOOST_SYSTEM explicitly
if needed and not rely on a proxy dependency from other boost packages.

v1 -> v2:
- change wording of Boost.System Helptext to better reflect its current functionality and discourage
   people from selecting it if not really necessary.
- split off patch for libcpprestsdk which is the only package that needed the dependency added
- all other packages contain the dependency on BOOST_SYSTEM or don't need it.

Both applied, thanks! I hope the second patch will not cause too much
breakage.
