add RISC-V support to Boost easyblock

The same change is also included in #3339, and I used it a few times already to install a couple of Boost versions. But I think it makes sense to have this in a separate PR, also because there are still some issue with Extrae. I'll upload some RISC-V test reports.

Ah, I didn't noticed #3339 when I searched for an open PR earlier. I run into the problem of building Boost, when I tried to build SciPy.
