[boost] [filesystem] imbue for path_traits

Hi,

Currently filesystem::path_traits doesn't have imbue() method while wpath_traits
has. Thus, there is explicit assumption that external and internal encodings for
path are the same.

But this is not true sometimes. For example, currently it doesn't seem to be
possible to use filesystem::path conveniently on Linux in cases when internal
encoding of the application is UTF-8 while system encoding might differ from
UTF-8 (GB2312, for example).
