[CMake] Not able to find boost with cmake

[Bo Zhou]

It's better not to use downloaded pre-built libraries, always build by
yourself locally.

Before using Boost with CMake, please check
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/module/FindBoost.html

If you're trying to use static boost libraries build by MSVC with shared
runtime, please make sure the following statements exist in the PCL.

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)


Then if you properly set the Boost_INCLUDE_DIR, all the libraries should be
ready then.
