now that we are allowed to use C++23. we now have the luxury of using
`std::views::transform`.
in this change, we:
- replace `boost::adaptors::transformed` with `std::views::transform`
- use `fmt::join()` when appropriate where `boost::algorithm::join()`
is not applicable to a range view returned by `std::view::transform`.
- use `std::ranges::fold_left()` to accumulate the range returned by
`std::view::transform`
- use `std::ranges::fold_left()` to get the maximum element in the
range returned by `std::view::transform`
- use `std::ranges::min()` to get the minimal element in the range
returned by `std::view::transform`
- use `std::ranges::equal()` to compare the range views returned
by `std::view::transform`
- remove unused `#include <boost/range/adaptor/transformed.hpp>`
- use `std::ranges::subrange()` instead of `boost::make_iterator_range()`,
to feed `std::views::transform()` a view range.
to reduce the dependency to boost for better maintainability, and
leverage standard library features for better long-term support.
this change is part of our ongoing effort to modernize our codebase
and reduce external dependencies where possible.
limitations:
there are still a couple places where we are still using
`boost::adaptors::transformed` due to the lack of a C++23 alternative
for `boost::join()` and `boost::adaptors::uniqued`.
