Feature/Boost Logger Implementation (#3571)

* Implement 3rd-party Boost logger

* Add boost log config file

* Implement log filtering and formatting for the different sinks

* Fix Timestamp calculation

* Fix function trace string

* Implement setting to disable particular sinks

* Add append option to file sinks

* Telnet logger configuration

* Add cmake flag to switch beetween loggers

* Remove log4cxx appender include

* Style fix

* Modify BoostLogConfig file for tests to match the log4cxx properties file

* Exclude log4cxx related libraries

* Address review comments

* Add changes to only install boost log if the correct LOGGER_NAME is set

* Fix implementation for removing disabled sinks

* Add note for isEnabledFor function

* Address review comment

* Fix smartobject linking error

* Address review comments
