Add "cxxstd" json field. The "cxxstd" json field is being added to each Boost library's meta json information for libraries whose minumum C++ standard compilation level is C++11 on up. The value of this field matches one of the values for 'cxxstd' in Boost.Build. The purpose of doing this is to provide information for the Boost website documentation for each library which will specify the minimum C++ standard compilation that an end-user must employ in order to use the particular library. This will aid end-users who want to know if they can successfully use a Boost library based on their C++ compiler's compilation level, without having to search the library's documentation to find this out.
boost.coroutine2
boost.coroutine2 provides templates for generalized subroutines which allow multiple entry points for suspending and resuming execution at certain locations. It preserves the local state of execution and allows re-entering subroutines more than once (useful if state must be kept across function calls).
Coroutines can be viewed as a language-level construct providing a special kind of control flow.
In contrast to threads, which are pre-emptive, coroutines switches are cooperative (programmer controls when a switch will happen). The kernel is not involved in the coroutine switches.
boost.coroutine2 requires C++11! Note that boost.coroutine2 is the successor of the deprectated boost.coroutine.
