Added a BOOST_DEPRECATED macro for deprecated symbol markup.

BOOST_DEPRECATED can be used to mark functions, types and objects as
deprecated, with a message with a recommendation of replacement. Using
such marked symbols in code will generate compiler warnings, with the
specified message, if possible.

The warnings can be suppressed if BOOST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS is defined.
Additionally, added support BOOST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED macro that not only
allows for deprecated symbols but also deprecated headers (i.e. defining
BOOST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED is equivalent to defining both
BOOST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS and BOOST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED_HEADERS).

[[`BOOST_FALLTHROUGH`][
The BOOST_FALLTHROUGH macro can be used to annotate implicit fall-through
between switch labels:
``
switch (x) {
case 40:
case 41:
if (truth_is_out_there) {
++x;
BOOST_FALLTHROUGH; // Use instead of/along with annotations in
// comments.
} else {
return x;
}
case 42:
...
``
As shown in the example above, the BOOST_FALLTHROUGH macro should be
followed by a semicolon. It is designed to mimic control-flow statements
like 'break;', so it can be placed in most places where 'break;' can, but
only if there are no statements on the execution path between it and the
next switch label.

When compiled with Clang >3.2 in C++11 mode, the BOOST_FALLTHROUGH macro is
expanded to `[[clang::fallthrough]]` attribute, which is analysed when
performing switch labels fall-through diagnostic ('-Wimplicit-fallthrough').
