before this change, we provide `boost_test_print_type()` for all types
which can be formatted using {fmt}. these types includes those who
fulfill the concept of range, and their element can be formatted using
{fmt}. if the compilation unit happens to include `fmt/ranges.h`.
the ranges are formatted with `boost_test_print_type()` as well. this
is what we expect. in other words, we use {fmt} to format types which
do not natively support {fmt}, but they fulfill the range concept.
but `boost::unit_test::basic_cstring` is one of them
- it can be formatted using operator<<, but it does not provide
fmt::format specialization
- it fulfills the concept of range
- and its element type is `char const`, which can be formatted using
{fmt}
that's why it's formatted like:
```
test/boost/sstable_directory_test.cc(317): fatal error: in "sstable_directory_test_generation_sanity": critical check ['s', 's', 't', '-', '>', 'g', 'e', 'n', 'e', 'r', 'a', 't', 'i', 'o', 'n', '(', ')', ' ', '=', '=', ' ', 's', 's', 't', '1', '-', '>', 'g', 'e', 'n', 'e', 'r', 'a', 't', 'i', 'o', 'n', '(', ')'] has failed`
```
where the string is formatted as a sequence-alike container. this
is far from readable.
so, in this change, we do not define `boost_test_print_type()` for
the types which natively support `operator<<` anymore. so they can
be printed with `operator<<` when boost::test prints them.
