doc: Remove outdated information about boost versions
Bitcoin core should work with any remotely recent boost version
if a proper build environment is present. Remove a confusing comment
from the build documentation.

doc: remove specific mention of boost 1.55
There is no need to use any specific version of boost on Linux/Unix.
Even 1.37 should still work.

Also the mention of boost-dev doesn't belong after adding oldstable.
Remove it. libboost-all-dev is already mentioned earlier.

e27c4110d9 Remove build-time no-IPv6 setting
The year is 2014. All supported operating systems have IPv6 support,
most certainly at build time (this doesn't mean that IPv6 is configured,
of course).

If noone is exercising the functionality to disable it, that means it
doesn't get tested, and IMO it's better to get rid of it.

(it's also not used consistently in RPC/boost and Net code...)

bfb154e9fc Update build instructions for Berkeley DB
- People were having problems with the .so when installing in
  alternative locations.
  Like gitian, build a static library with -fPIC that can
  be embedded into the executables.

- Add some missing steps

- Add reminder that BerkeleyDB is only needed when wallet support is
  enabled

f3f2cb736d doc: remove versions from build-unix.md, just refer to release-process.md
No one bothers to keep this up to date.
Better to refer to another file than give wrong information.
