Previously, we specified the target-os in the toolset (and sometimes
used the wrong command line flags), now we have a clear separation,
which is favored by ./bootstrap.sh and ./b2.
This means that all supported OSes will specify the correct target-os=
and toolset= on the command line.
b2 will pickup our user-config.jam just fine, however, bootstrap.sh has
its own toolset autodetect mechanism, which doesn't GAF about our
user-config.jam

Pull request description:
This allows one to build the dependencies with the Android SDK and goes towards fixing #11844. It has been tested to work with:
`make HOST=aarch64-linux-android ANDROID_API_LEVEL=28 ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_BIN=/home/user/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin NO_QT=1 NO_WALLET=1`

The ancient "darwin-4.9.1" profile has long been used to match against
clang, which prior to version 9, reported 4.9.1 as its version when
invoking "clang++ -dumpversion". Presumably this was a historical
compatibility quirk related to Apple's switch from gcc to clang.
This was "fixed" in clang 9.0, so that -dumpversion reports the real
version. Unfortunately that had the side-effect of breaking the
(brittle) boost compiler detection.
Move to the seemingly more-correct "clang-darwin" profile, which passes
the checks and builds correctly.
Also switch to using ar rather than libtool for archiving, as it's what
the clang-darwin profile expects to be using.
Note that because this is using a different profile, some of the final
command-line arguments end up changing. The changes look sane at a
glance.
Boost assumes variadic templates are always available in GCC 4.4+, but
they aren't since we don't build with -std=c++11.
This applies the patch that fixed the issue in boost 1.57:

tl;dr: This solves boost visibility problems for default/release build configs
on non-Linux platforms.
When Bitcoin builds against boost's header-only classes, it ends up with
objects containing symbols that the upstream boost libs also have. Since
Bitcoin builds by default with hidden symbol visibility, it can end up trying
to link against a copy of the same symbols with default visibility.
This is not a problem on Linux because 3rd party static libs are un-exported
by default (--exclude-libs,ALL), but that is not available for MinGW and OSX.
Those platforms (and maybe others?) end up confused about which version to use.
The OSX linker spews hundreds of: "ld: warning: direct access in <foo> to
global weak symbol guard variable for <bar> means the weak symbol cannot be
overridden at runtime. This was likely caused by different translation units
being compiled with different visibility settings."
MinGW's linker complains similarly.
Since the default symbol visibility for Bitcoin is hidden and releases are
built that way as well, build Boost with hidden visibility. Linux builds Boost
this way also, but only for the sake of continuity.
This means that the linker confusion logic is reversed, so the problem will
will now be encountered if Bitcoin is built with --disable-reduce-exports, but
that's better than the current situation.
