condition_variable::timed_wait incompatible with std::chrono::duration due to lack of is_pos_infinity

[SpareSimian]

boost::condition_variable::timed_wait() attempts to invoke wait_duration.is_pos_infinity() on its templated parameter.

The standard doesn't define a member is_pos_infinity expected by timed_wait, forcing one to use a Boost clock rather than an STL one such as steady_clock or system_clock.

Found when compiling with MSVS 2022's STL (line 200 here):

https://github.com/microsoft/STL/blob/main/stl/inc/__msvc_chrono.hpp

A possible workaround would be to define an adapter class that defines this member.

I thought perhaps BOOST_THREAD_USE_CHRONO would fix this but the following simple program fails to compile:

#define BOOST_THREAD_USE_CHRONO
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <boost/thread/condition_variable.hpp>

int main()
{
   return 0;
}

typedef std::chrono::system_clock Clock;
typedef Clock::duration TimeDuration;
typedef Clock::time_point TimePoint;

void foo(boost::mutex& mutex, boost::condition_variable& cv, TimePoint expireTime)
{
   boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> lock(mutex);
   cv.timed_wait(lock, expireTime);
}

I tried substituting boost::chrono::system_clock and I got the same errors.
