build: actually stop configure if Boost isn't available
If Boost is not found via AX_BOOST_BASE, we don't actually stop
configuring, only a warning is emitted:
```bash
checking for boostlib >= 1.58.0 (105800)... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BOOST or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
```
Instead we would usually fail when one of the other
AX_BOOST_* macros fails to find a library. These macros are slowly being
removed, and in any case, it makes more sense to fail earlier if Boost
is missing.
If Boost is unavailable, the failure now looks like:
```bash
checking for boostlib >= 1.58.0 (105800)... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.58.0 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
configure: error: Boost is not available!
```
Note that we now just pass the version into AX_BOOST_BASE, which fixes
it's display in the output (rather than MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BOOST).
