Consider making Boost-Test optional #2

Description

@nilsdeppe

It seems like I need Boost-Test installed on my machine in order to build the library at all. This isn't a huge deal, but Boost-Test seems to be one of those libraries that has a different name in lib form libboost-test, while in the Boost documentation it is called unit test. I think there are two things that would make life a bit easier:

  • state in the readme "Boost libraries ('libboost-test` for testing)"
  • if Boost-Test cannot be found, disable building the tests and maybe print a warning message during meson runtime
