This removes boost::thread* where possible. We still need boost::thread for the checkqueue, but ripping it out there should now be a smaller diff.

wallet: Remove unused boost thread include

This was used for the thread_interrupted exception. However, the only
thread that is interruptible is the checkqueue thread. And that thread
does not run the wallet.

scheduler: Switch to std::thread

The scheduler switched to std::condition_variable in commit
d0ebd93270758ea97ea956b8821e17a2d001ea94 and it thus no longer
interruptible. All call sites can be updated to use std::thread
