[boost] [serialization] implementing class_name_optional_type

Hi all, I'm working on the "YAML archives for Boost.Serialization" GSoC 
project and I've already implemented a working output archive. However, since 
YAML requires the class name to be always serialized, I had to implement the 
serialization of a new type called class_name_optional_type in 
basic_oarchive.cpp, which lets the archive decide if class names should 
always be written. It was discussed in the past [1], but never implemented, 
AFAIK.

Cheers.

PS: should I send the patch to this list or is it better to create a new 
ticket?
