boost.coroutine does not build and therefore boost.asio would also not
build (because of new async_result feature using coroutines).

the bugfix was out-of-my focus because I did a lot work on boost.coroutine.
because of many changes I forgot to fix the typo.

As I sad the regression-tests on
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/release/developer/coroutine.html are
passed.
Even if I do build boost.coroutine in libs/coroutine/examples or
libs/coroutine/test the library builds.
It fails only if b2 is called from boost-root - I assume this is an issue
of boost-build system.

To fix the bug in lib/coroutine/build/Jamfile.v2:

- explicit yield_sources ;
+explicit allocator_sources ;
