std.boxer deprecated and eliminated from posix.mak and documentation

Removal from the built libphobos2.a file is a bad idea.  Doing so forces current users to not just -d their builds, but to also build std/boxer.d and link it into their apps manually.  Either it should be just deprecated or completely removed.

Ok.  Expect a little flack.. but it'll be a good way to check the temperature of other final removals.  It's broken at least one dmd test.  I switched it over to use std.variant, but it's not clear what the original bug was.  The test might well be irrelevant now.
