* feature.add-defaults: No longer accepts conditionals and returns
expanded properties. This matches the actual usage, and conditionals
never really worked right anyway.
* property.refine: Remove subfeatures of removed features.
* Moved property-set expansion and adding defaults into
targets.evaluate-requirements so that they correctly interact with
the target requirements.
* Expand subfeatures when matching target alternatives.
* Non-property-specific subfeatures like <cxxstd>11-iso are expanded correctly.
Various restructure of test framework handling of paths to avoid duplicate path editing which caused failed tests. Adjust many tests to deal with added subdirectories in build outputs now that toolset requirements are active.
Related changes:
* BoostBuild.Tester & TestCmd.TestCmd interfaces now accept external process parameters as a list of strings, thus avoiding problems with parsing arguments containing spaces.
* Avoided a potential process hang in case an external process being run prints out enough output to fill up the OS's pipe buffer (OS would pause the process until someone read the data from the pipe but the testing framework would not do this until the process in question had terminated).
