Modular Boost status..

Yesterday I created PRs for each library that introduces the changes
to build (and some code) to implement the modular B2 building. I track
all the PRs here:

<https://github.com/users/grafikrobot/projects/1/views/2>

All the library PRs are in Draft status, as we wait for the tool
related PRs to get merged. You can read an explanation of the changes
here <https://github.com/grafikrobot/boost-b2-modular/blob/b2-modular/README.adoc>
(the explanations may differ slightly from current reality).

IMPORTANT: The PRs are all "Draft" as I continue to monitor build
errors from any CI errors in the PRs. And to address feedback from
authors.

After the current release the process will go something like this:

* I fix any current fallout in draft PRs.
* The 1.86 release happens.
* The owners merge the tool PRs to develop and master.
* I fix any fallout from that.
* Authors, and owners, merge library PRs to develop and master.
* I fix any fallout from that.
* I create subsequent PRs for the global B2 Boost build infrastructure
to remove the old non-modular dead code.
* The 1.87 release happens.

Questions?
