Merge #11936: [build] Warn that only libconsensus can be built without Boost
3eb4d45 [build] Warn that only libconsensus can be built without boost (Varunram)
Pull request description:
This replaces the "configure: error: Could not find a version of the boost_system library!" message you receive when trying to build without Boost, with "only libbitcoinconsensus can be built without boost".
`./configure --with-utils=no --disable-bench --disable-gui-tests --disable-tests --with-daemon=no --without-gui --disable-wallet --with-boost=no` builds libconsensus.
`./configure --with-boost=no` should always fail with:
```
checking whether to build Bitcoin Core GUI... yes (Qt5)
configure: error: only libbitcoinconsensus can be built without boost
```
For anyone wondering why the check comes after the AX_BOOST_BASE check, see this [comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11806#discussion_r155359394). "the AX_BOOST_BASE macro that does the --with-boost handling (along with the actual checks), and sets "want_boost". "
Fixes #10826, replaces #11806.
@theuni if you re-ACK we can get this merged.
