limited support for detecting platform

Description

I some assembler code is required by a library - boost.build has some limited support to detect platform features. For instance it is necessary to know for which architecture the lib should be build. The builtin properties <architecture> and <instruction-set> are optional properties (so a developer can not rely on it). Additinaly the binary format has to be known. Suggestion: new builtin property <linkage> with values like elf, windowspe, mach-o.
