Supporting Boost on Linux for arm64 architectures will require an arm64
build of the Boost libraries first.

This mirrors similar changes done on Windows and Mac and adds a bash
script on Linux with the recipe for building USD and its supporting files using
CMake directly. This ensures that USD builds specifically against the
engine's versions of USD's library dependencies rather than having
USD's build script download and build its own versions. Some of the
manual steps involved in preparing a build of USD for installation in the
engine were rolled into this bash script. When the script completes, the
build products are mostly ready to be copied into place, although
plugInfo.json files will still need their LibraryPath to be adjusted.
Note that this does not yet add support for the usdAbc plugin, as
some additional Linux-specific issues need to be addressed first.
The usdAbc plugin is still only available on Windows and Mac for now.
These changes include the updates to the build process as well as a full
rebuild of USD for Linux built using this new setup. It also includes the
changes necessary to the Boost module rules in order to link against the
engine's version of Boost.
The version of USD remains unchanged here, and still represents USD
version 21.08, matching Windows and Mac.

The build script included here is largely a copy of the existing
build script for Mac, which was itself ported from the build script
for Windows, so its usage is similar.
The build products included here represent Boost version
1.70.0, the same version currently used on Windows and Mac.
Note that this does *not* include the update to the module rules
that would put this new set of libraries into use with engine builds.
That will be done in a subsequent change, since it will have to be
combined with a rebuild of USD, which is the main consumer of
the Boost libraries.

With that change in place, we can also now build the usdAbc plugin that
is included with USD which adds a file format plugin for reading Alembic
files via USD.

The build script included here is largely a port of the existing
build script for Windows, so its usage is similar. The one detail
that is unique to the Mac build script is that since it does not
currently appear to be possible to have the Boost build itself
generate universal binaries, we therefore have to run a build
for each of x86_64 and arm64 architectures and then combine
them into a set of universal binaries ourselves in a post-process.
The build products included here represent Boost version
1.70.0, the same version currently used on Windows.
Note that this does *not* include the update to the module rules
that would put this new set of libraries into use with engine builds.

With USD rebuilt to depend on the "vc142" versions of the Boost
libraries, the "vc141" versions of the libraries are no longer used
and can be removed.

This change replaces the USD shared libraries on Windows with
versions built using MSVC 1.42, updating their dependencies on
Boost to reflect the "vc142" versions of the Boost libraries.
There was no change to the version of USD used, so these libraries
still represent USD version 21.05, and the rebuild was only necessary
for Windows.
The Build.cs for the Boost UE module now looks for the "vc142"
versions of the Boost libraries.

The default version of the compiler toolchain for the engine on Windows is
currently Visual Studio 2019 and MSVC 1.42, so this change sets up Boost
to build using that toolchain, and it adds versions of the compiled binaries
built using that toolchain.
Note that this change does *not* update the Boost Build.cs to look for these
new "vc142" versions of the libraries, nor does it remove the existing "vc141"
versions of the libraries. USD has a link dependency on Boost, so a subsequent
change will rebuild the USD libraries to update the dependencies, after which
it will be safe to remove the old "vc141" Boost libraries.
