Merge #21205: build: actually fail when Boost is missing
c5da2749e2f7375e292fb0982e8e252ae1adbce3 build: actually stop configure if Boost isn't available (fanquake)
cad8b527eaf7a93877e2249960866fd4db2d1c14 build: explicitly install libboost-dev package (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  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 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 showing `MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BOOST`).

  This PR also has a commit that adds `libboost-dev` to our install instructions and CI. This package is currently installed as a side-effect of installing our other libboost-*-dev packages. However as those continue to disappear, it makes sense to install boost-dev explicitly.

What is Dash?

Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Dash whitepaper.

License

Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches. Tags are created to indicate new official, stable release versions of Dash Core.

The develop branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
