Merge bitcoin#24301: build: header-only Boost

5d399f9 build: remove native B2 package (fanquake)
2037a3b build: header-only Boost (fanquake)
39e66e9 build: use header-only Boost unit test (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  This PR converts our Boost usage to header only. We switch from using our last remaining Boost lib (unit test), to using it's header-only implementation (see https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_78_0/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/adv_scenarios/single_header_customizations/multiple_translation_units.html).

  Also related to bitcoin#24291.

  Guix build:
  ```bash
  ```
