Beast documentation has extensive cross-links to Boost.Asio docs, for
example click on return type ("DEDUCED") of these function signatures:

<https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_68_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/ref/boost__beast__http__async_read.html>

I don't know that it makes sense for asio to link back to beast. And
that wouldn't be meaningful for the stand-alone version (which shares
the same docs).
