Adding hash_value for filesystem::path

[anonymous]

Will allow to set filesystem::path to the flyweight and unordered_* by this.

//in namespace boost::filesystem
size_t hash_value(const path& data)
{
    return boost::hash_value(data.native());
}

That won't work because path's operator== is not the same as the string's operator==, so paths that are equal will hash to different values. I'll write a patch when I get the chance. You also shouldn't call hash_value directly - if at a later date filesystem uses a custom string type, then that won't pick up its hash_value by ADL.

Patch attached.

The patch was applied years ago, but the ticket was not closed at that time.
