RFC: Boost Process requires boost::filesystem when compiling with mingw #24036

@hebasto

Description

@hebasto

Working on "Use std::filesystem. Remove Boost Filesystem & System" #20744, I found an unfortunate pitfall -- boost/process.hpp depends on boost::filesystem when cross-compiling for Windows. It happens in Guix environment as well.

The goal of this issue is to discuss and find a solution to get rid of boost::filesystem.
