Use BOOST_EXPLICIT_OPERATOR_BOOL for optional

Browse Source 
I often have the problem that when I change a std::wstring to boost::optional<std::wstring> and the variable is used as a parameter with Boost.Format, the result silently changes from the string contents to "1".

This change prevents implicit conversion to bool if the compiler supports explicit conversion operators.

* [*Returns:] An unspecified value which if used on a boolean context
is equivalent to (`get_ptr() != 0`)
* [*Returns:] `get_ptr() != 0`.
* [*Throws:] Nothing.
* [*Notes:] On compilers that do not support explicit conversion operators this falls back to safe-bool idiom.
* [*Example:]
