We've done a half way house for the 1.74 release: Emil has added
boost::make_exception_ptr(). This has enabled Outcome to dispense with
including exception_ptr, if on Boost 1.74 or later, if C++ exceptions
are globally disabled. Thus, Outcome should now compile in Boost 1.74 if
C++ exceptions are globally disabled.
