[boost] New smart pointer library feature: debug hooks

When the macro BOOST_ENABLE_SP_DEBUG_HOOKS is defined, the Boost smart
pointers will call the following debug hook routines:

namespace boost
{
    void sp_scalar_constructor_hook(void * p);
    void sp_array_constructor_hook(void * p);
    void sp_scalar_destructor_hook(void * p);
    void sp_array_destructor_hook(void * p);
}

immediately before claiming/releasing ownership of a pointer.

A sample implementation of these debug hooks is available in
libs\smart_ptr\sp_debug_hooks.cpp. Just #define the macro and link with
sp_debug_hooks.cpp.
