#7501: Decouple from time libraries

In order to support more time libraries like Boost.DateTime and
Boost.Chrono (e.g. std::chrono from C++11) and reduce library dependencies
it is suggested to decouple Boost.Thread from Boost.DateTime and
Boost.Chrono and introduce an abstraction layer for time units. Having
done that, Boost.Thread should not depend on any time library, neither
when being built nor when being used, except for its time-related
features. The integration layer should include support for Boost.DateTime,
Boost.Chrono and std::chrono.
