The Boost build system executes Python in the compile task to
import the Numpy module and print the include directory.
We must specify the python3-native executable in the user-config.jam
so that the python.jam can execute it properly.
Without this change, it specifies a non-existant python executable
and reports "No such file or directory" in log.do_compile.

The Boost python.jam file attempts to import the NumPy module to determine
whether the Boost.Python NumPy extension should be enabled. This approach
is problematic when cross-compiling, particularly when NumPy includes
native extensions built for the target architecture.
Introduce the new python-numpy-include feature to avoid probing for NumPy
at build time by allowing the include path to be specified explicitly.
This enables BitBake to provide the correct NumPy include directory from
the recipe sysroot, eliminating the need to import the target NumPy
module from site-packages.

Support for NumPy was added to Boost release 1.63.
This additional numpy PACKAGECONFIG ensures that python3-numpy
is added as build-time and run-time dependencies. It uses the
custom-made python-numpy-include feature to supply the directory
for the numpy module headers to the b2 build system.
If numpy is not added the PACKAGECONFIG it will still attempt the
probe and fail gracefully like before.
