[Buildroot] [PATCH 6/7] package/boost: remove dependencies on Boost.DateTime

[Bernd Kuhls]

From: Michael Nosthoff <buildroot at heine.tech>

Boost.DateTime is header-only since 1.77.0
The Boost Release Notes[0] didn't mention it but it was introduced in
the documentation of DateTime in this commit: [1]

This was bumped in buildroot in d39d8f7cee9b4634e6f490020204f63fae419e8e

So analog to the "header-only" move of Boost.System we have now to
gradually phase out the dependencies on this library. Ideally before
the stub is removed as it now happened for Boost.System in 1.89.0.
