Description
**User Story**
As a developer I want to have the FC library cleaned up in order to get rid of broken/obsolete/unused code and reduce maintenance effort.
Much of the code in FC predates C++-11 and modern Boost. Both C++-11 and Boost have standardized or at least well-proven replacements for much of FC. We should get rid of all code in FC that is either unused by the core, or for which standard and/or Boost replacements exist.

Research direction
Start by auditing the FC library and identifying how BitShares Core uses it. Compare the remaining code with C++11 and modern Boost replacements, then determine which parts are unused, obsolete, or duplicated. Done means the unnecessary FC code is removed or replaced without affecting the core, with performance and security impacts checked.
