[python] GCC 4.8+ warns about unused local typedef

Description
During the build of Boost, GCC warns about several unused typedefs in Boost.Python. There are many of these that seem like they should be converted to BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT, like this one for example.
./boost/python/cast.hpp:73:20: warning: typedef 'must_be_a_complete_type' locally defined but not used [-Wunused-local-typedefs]
typedef char must_be_a_complete_type[sizeof(T)];
There's at least one other instance of this problem that I know of. Shall I prepare a patch for this, or is this undesirable for some reason?
In the mean time, I'm attaching a patch for another one.

This replaces my original patch--the whole block can be removed, as since recently, Boost assumes GCC >= 3.

This converts a whole bunch of static-assert-alike construct with BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_MSG.

I verified that there are no regressions in the Python test suite on x86_64 Fedora with these patches applied.
A fix.
