[interprocess] AIX 6.1 bug with variable definition hz.

Description
The error that pops up in some of the interprocess tests is the following:
../boost/interprocess/detail/os_thread_functions.hpp:289:9: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant
long hz =::sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK); ticks per sec
In file included from ../boost/interprocess/detail/managed_open_or_create_impl.hpp:15:0,
from ../boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp:22, from ../libs/interprocess/test/cached_node_allocator_test.cpp:12:
../boost/interprocess/detail/os_thread_functions.hpp:291:10: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
hz = 100;
Having a variable named hz conflicts with the definition of an AIX system variable that is in scope with this file. If I undefine the variable hz, hz can be safely defined without any confusion to the compiler.
Please look at the Pull Request created for further details: https://github.com/boostorg/interprocess/pull/7
Thanks for the report. Renamed the variable to "ticks_per_second" in
[develop 3c09cee] Renamed variable "hz" as it conflicts with AIX's system variable
