Disable Boost Static Library Builds, 1.0 branch (2018.04.30.)

Disabled the build of (most of) the Boost static libraries. (Some libraries are built in static versions no matter what.)

This is because we anyway link against the shared Boost libraries by default, and our environment setup is written with the assumption that we would use the dynamic libraries.

This is to save a bit on disk space (~75 MB) and build time for the future analysis releases. Pinging @krumnack as someone who may be interested in this change.

P.S. The change to make the release build explicit is just for code readability reasons. It should not change the result of the build wrt. the previous configuration.
