[boost] [parameter][serialization] VC 8/9 regression test failures

The trunk regression tests are showing a large number of failures for Parameter
and Serialization (and several other libraries that use them).
These seem to have appeared as a result of some recent type_traits changes.

-parameter-
The parameter tests are failing with:

..\boost/parameter/aux_/tagged_argument.hpp(173) : error C2504: 'is_convertible'
: base class undefined

This can be fixed by adding
   # include <boost/type_traits/is_convertible.hpp>
to tagged_argument.hpp

-serialization-
The serialization tests are failing with:

..\boost/serialization/is_abstract.hpp(43) : warning C4005: 'BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT'
: macro redefinition
        ..\boost/type_traits/intrinsics.hpp(99) : see previous definition of
'BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT'

Due to a BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT that was just added to type_traits conflicting with
one that already existed in serializtion.

Thanks,
Richard Webb
