[PATCHv4] boost-asio: Add recipe

[PATCHv4] boost-asio: Add recipe

[Gustav Lindberg]

This is needed to build boost asio as a shared library rather than a
header-only library, which is needed to save memory.

Fix review comments: extract major version into a variable and upgrade boost version to 1.92.0.

Hi Gustav,

Thanks for the new version. It is still failing on the autobuilder:

ERROR: boost-asio-1.92.0-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: File /usr/lib/.debug/libboost_asio.so.1.92.0 in package boost-asio-dbg contains reference to TMPDIR [buildpaths]
ERROR: boost-asio-1.92.0-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: File /usr/lib/.debug/libboost_asio.so.1.92.0 in package boost-asio-dbg contains a reference to the build host HOME directory. If upstream hardcodes a directory path that matches your home, you can set OEQA_BUILDPATHS_SKIP = "/srv/pokybuild" in the recipe. [buildpaths]
ERROR: boost-asio-1.92.0-r0 do_package_qa: Fatal QA errors were found, failing task.

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/6/builds/4560
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/25/builds/4543

Can you have a look at the issue?

Thanks,
Mathieu
