Description
Switch Boost.Filesystem to use `std::chrono`/Boost.Chrono for various file timestamps. This would be an API breaking change, so there should be an option to revert to `std::time_t` timestamps (to be removed after some transition period). The built library must remain binary compatible with any user-selected representation of timestamps.
https://github.com/boostorg/log/issues/145 is an example where higher precision timestamps would be useful.
