I'd like to merge the following commits to master:

https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/db390391bb144544c2a30ff225c4c38ce80fff3a
https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/96ff4a1fe6c667bf9fc38ad191d66e374eb3a683

The commits restore (but deprecate) auto-linking with Windows SDK 
libraries used internally by Boost.Filesystem. This is a workaround for 
possible linking errors if users use static library of Boost.Filesystem 
and don't link these libraries in their projects.

CI tests have passed.
