New dependency version: Boost 1.89

[jmpf]

Library that has a new version: Boost 1.89

Link to release notes: https://www.boost.org/releases/1.89.0/

Note that there is a known issue with configuring Boost 1.89 in cmake. Attempt to compile with 1.89 hit this problem:
https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/-/issues/8754
See also #453

TODO:

• Build a docker image containing the new dependency versions - see the Portability Testing Guide for how to do this.
• Create a branch off develop - you could name it, for example, support-petsc-322.
• Add the new docker image to the portability workflow on the new branch.
• Create a PR with the new branch and see if it builds and passes all tests.
• Do any necessary fixes
• Add permanently to testing rotation i.e. either replace an old docker image in the portability workflow with the new image, or append the new image to the existing list of portability images. For example, if there's an old dependency version that is being retired, the new docker image can probably replace the old one.
• Update the portability versions in the Portability Testing Guide.
• Update the supported dependency versions page.

This comment suggests it might be as easy as removing mention of system from a cmake line: boostorg/system#132 (comment) and that should be compatible with all boosts after 1.69, and our earliest is 1.71 at the moment.

Testing this in #468 (rest of ticket still to do, so un-linked it)

Seems to work - I've invited Jmpf and Fergus to review the pull request. Should make Boost 1.89 trivial to support if the comment above is correct.

Merged that in, so hopefully the roadblock to Boost 1.89 is out of the way now.

Should we test now that PR #468 is merged?
