Use boost/outcome.hpp instead of outcome/outcome.hpp

[awvwgk]

The outcome module is available in boost >=1.70 (see https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/libs/outcome/doc/html/index.html). Is there a reason to require a separate dependency instead of using boost proper?

[weymutht]

Right now, we also want/need to support Boost versions older than 1.70.0.

[awvwgk]

Might be possible to do this by adding a small proxy header to switch between outcome/outcome.hpp and boost/outcome.hpp depending on the boost version (BOOST_VERSION).

[weymutht]

This is fixed in release 2.0.0.
