#7537: deprecate Mutex::scoped_lock and scoped_try_lock and boost::condition

Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  thread  
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0      |    Severity:  Cosmetic
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The Mutex::scoped_lock and scoped_try_lock make mutex types dependent from
 locks.

 I would like to make them independent.

 In addition they are there since 1.35. I think it is time the user moves
 to use the standard unique_lock.

 The boost::condition condition is there since 1.35. I think it is time the
 user moves to use the standard condition_variable_any.

 As usual, the user will have 6 releases to move. Two macros will be
 provided to enable/disable the inclusion of the deprecated features.
