{devel}[GCC/9.3.0,iccifort/2020.1.217] Boost.Serial v1.72.0

@SimonPinches, this is a change for Boost"-no_mpi" introduced previously. After the EB call today, we are introducing Boost.Serial, instead of having a version suffix.

Sanity check seems hosed as per my test report, on my system files are decorated like:

Mmm, that seems to be an EasyBlock problem ? I have no custom sanity_check paths in the EC.

Changed target to easybuilders:dual_serial_mpi

@mboisson thanks for the heads-up regarding the change of suffix name. I have to say I'm sorry to see the loss of a GCCcore version since this means I'll now need to build at at least two versions of all the libraries that depend upon it :-( This may even lead to conflicts in some of our mixed compilation workflows but I'll try to work around this.

[lexming]

@SimonPinches going down to GCCcore level for serial builds is indeed a good point to discuss. I'll add it for the conf call.

[mboisson]

@lexming, the reason even Compute Canada did not do that is that we will always want to have a Boost with GCC and one with Intel. Bringing it down to GCCcore means that users run the risk of using GCC-compiled libraries with Intel, or that we need to forgo optimizations brought forward by the Intel compiler (which can be useful for algorithms in Boost).
