Use boost beta, simplify overloads
Summary
This PR replaces our manual implementation of the beta function with the one from Boost which is more accurate over a broader domain
I've also combined the multiple overloads into a single overload per prim, rev, fwd now that we have if constexpr.

@SteveBronder what do you think of this structure for combining overloads with if constexpr? Just figuring out a good consistent structure to follow
