Boost conflict on the noetic branch leads to segfaults #280

I've been toying a bit with the new noetic branch trying to update some old code base. In the same node where I make use of MessageStoreProxy I need to make use of boost::thread.

I was getting a segfault randomly happening in the spawned thread. After debugging for a while without a clue. Found out that the resulting node is linking to boost 1.71 (noetic dependency) and 1.67 (libmongoclient dependency). This is known to lead to segfaults in some cases.

Even on the provided message_store_cpp_test this happens:

ldd devel/lib/mongodb_store/message_store_cpp_test | grep boost
	libboost_thread.so.1.67.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_thread.so.1.67.0 (0x00007f70eb667000)
	libboost_system.so.1.67.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_system.so.1.67.0 (0x00007f70eb660000)
	libboost_thread.so.1.71.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_thread.so.1.71.0 (0x00007f70eb5d9000)
	libboost_chrono.so.1.71.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_chrono.so.1.71.0 (0x00007f70eb5cb000)
	libboost_filesystem.so.1.71.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_filesystem.so.1.71.0 (0x00007f70eb5ad000)
	libboost_regex.so.1.71.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_regex.so.1.71.0 (0x00007f70eb159000)

Is there any way to prevent this and force the usage of one boost library only?
