[boost] [serialization] patch for portable_binary_oarchive.hpp

From: Boris Gubenko (Boris.Gubenko_at_[hidden])

Two serialization library tests: test_demo_portable_archive[_dll] fail
to compile on many platforms with invalid type conversion error. I did
not check all the platforms, but I'd expect it to fail on any big endian
platform. The patch below fixes the problem, verified on HP-UX with
both aC++ and gcc.

Ok to commit?
