Build on Linux with local Boost

[agladilin]

Ubuntu 22.04 supplies Boost 1.74. I would like to link the cppparser with it. Can we have this supported?
The code below does this.

Also please note that the file(DOWNLOAD ...) directive is used in order to download catch.hpp. Thus I got rid of https://github.com/satya-das/common.git repo usage.

Using local boost is too complicated and doesn't guarantee compilation on all machines.
