#11810: privilege __sun over sun for strict ISO compilers

Component:  None                      |    Version:  Boost 1.59.0

--------------------------------------+------------------------------
 when compilers use strict ISO options such as
 -std=c++11 they only generate for SunOS the macro '`__sun`'
 and not '`sun`'.

 I propose minimally the attached patches, although there seems
 to be a bit of overkill with tests involving both in the source tree.

 That is to say, the documented way to test is something like the
 following:

 {{{
 #ifdef __sun
 /* this is SunOS */
 #endif

 #if defined(__sun) && defined(__SVR4)
 /* this in particular is Solaris */
 #endif
 }}}
