With sans-jamroot projects we don't get a missing jamroot error.
Hence we can get other errors, like in this test that fails to find
definitions in the missing jamroot.
* Rework the test case expansion.py to avoid interference from user-config.jam
and toolsets which previously masked this problem. Also add a test case
specifically for this issue.
* Remove the test case for BB60. I have no idea what BB60 is, but the test
case doesn't seem particularly important for the current implementation
given that project requirements are merged into the target requirements
long before conditionals are evaluated.
* The new scanner is currently disabled and only issues a warning
for tokens that would be lexed differently.
* Special case a few common uses of ':', to limit breakage to
a manageable level.
* Remove the horribly outdated Jambase code inherited from Perforce Jam
* Update all of Boost.Build to work in the presence of the new lexer.

configure VxWorks/Dinkum STL to match <rtti>/<exception-handling>
Just a copy-paste of lzma.jam, except not introducing
the useless is-default option.
Will be used for zstd compression/decompression support
in iostreams (see also trac ticket #13356).
* New feature <relevant> which is automatically deduced in most cases.
* Features which are not relevant do not affect target paths and
do not prevent merging of virtual targets.
* generators.jam: generator.run always returns usage-requirements
to allow usage-requirements in non-top-level generators. This
is necessary because we're using usage-requirements to track
relevance from flags.
* New rule toolset.uses-features to specify features that the rule
checks manually, instead of using toolset.flags. In the future,
we should consider restricting the properties actually passed,
to detect errors.
* Adjust tests to handle the new paths (verified by inspection).
* Add temporary option --ignore-relevance to consider all features relevant
to aid migration.
* New rule property.evaluate-conditional-relevance which helps tracking
relevance in <conditional>.
* Widely scattered changes to use the new interfaces.
* Fix problems in x-product that could make it return extra property-sets
in complex cases. Also clarify exactly what it is supposed to do.
* free_features_request.py: This is subsumed by the new test.
* direct_request_test.py: This is mostly subsumed by the new test
except for the last test for chained build-projects, which doesn't
make much sense in the current code base as build-project is implemented
very differently.
* Document using / to separate properties.
* property-set now considers <conditional> to be conditional
* property.evaluate-conditionals-in-context now handles indirect
conditionals as well. This is the correct behavior for all places
where evaluate-conditionals-in-context is currently used.
* Indirect conditionals now translate paths relative to the project
in which they were defined, not relative to the current project.
* usage-requirements no longer use targets.evaluate-requirements,
as the iterative algorithm is completely unnecessary (It's also
wrong, since the new features shouldn't be applied to the evaluation
context).
* indirect conditionals are removed from the property set when they
are evaluated, just list regular conditionals. (This is a consequence
of passing them through evaluate-conditionals-in-context)
* This also allows non-free features in usage-requirements to "work" again
(for some definition of work).
* feature.add-defaults: No longer accepts conditionals and returns
expanded properties. This matches the actual usage, and conditionals
never really worked right anyway.
* property.refine: Remove subfeatures of removed features.
* Moved property-set expansion and adding defaults into
targets.evaluate-requirements so that they correctly interact with
the target requirements.
* Expand subfeatures when matching target alternatives.
* Non-property-specific subfeatures like <cxxstd>11-iso are expanded correctly.
