Newer compilers, such as Apple Clang 15.0, have removed `std::result_of`
as part of C++20. The build instructions provided a fix for this (by
adding a preprocessor definition), but the fix was broken.
This fixes the fix by:
* Adding the `conf` prefix for tool configurations (which had been
forgotten).
* Passing `extra_b2_flags` to `boost` package to fix its build.
* Define `BOOST_ASIO_HAS_STD_INVOKE_RESULT` in order to build boost
1.77 with a newer compiler.
* Remove obsolete build instructions.
* By using Conan, builders can choose which dependencies specifically to
build and link as shared objects.
* Refactor the build instructions based on the plan in #4433.
- Copies the recipe for Snappy from Conan Center, but removes three
lines that explicitly link the standard library, which prevents
builders from statically linking it.
- Removes the recipe for RocksDB now that an official recipe for version
6.27.3 is in Conan Center.
Developers will likely need to remove cached versions of both RocksDB
and Snappy:
```
conan remove -f rocksdb
conan remove -f snappy
```

Introduces a conanfile.py (and a Conan recipe for RocksDB) to enable building the package with Conan, choosing more recent default versions of dependencies. It removes almost all of the CMake build files related to dependencies, and the configurations for Travis CI and GitLab CI. A new set of cross-platform build instructions are written in BUILD.md.
Includes example GitHub Actions workflow for each of Linux, macOS, Windows.
* Test on macos-12
We use the <concepts> library which was not added to Apple Clang until
version 13.1.6. The default Clang on macos-11 (the sometimes current
version of macos-latest) is 13.0.0, and the default Clang on macos-12 is
14.0.0.
Closes#4223.
