[CMake] Alternative locations for boost in cmake

[Mahmood Naderan]

Even with the latest 3.15.4, I get the same error

$ cmake --version
cmake version 3.15.4

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).
$ cmake -DBoost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS=ON -DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIR=/storage/users/mnaderan/boost_1_65_1/build/include/ -DBoost_LIBRARY_DIRS=/storage/users/mnaderan/boost_1_65_1/build/lib/ -DBoost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS=1.65.1 ..

 You are using very old CMake 3.9 which has no idea about Boost 1.65
https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/v3.9.0/Modules/FindBoost.cmake#L769

Rule #1: Use latest version of CMake, ALWAYS!

There is absolutely no reason or excuse to not to use the latest as there are
- deb packages available https://apt.kitware.com/
- generic installer for any Linux and Windows

Updating CMake is easy-peasy for us lazy programmers with a bit of scripting:
https://github.com/mloskot/wsl-config/blob/master/scripts/install-cmake-latest.sh
https://github.com/mloskot/wsl-config/blob/master/scripts/install-cmake-latest.ps1
