Use boost for JSON parsing (#923)

* Use boost for JSON parsing

- Add boost-json to bootstrap
- Remove Suse 15.2 and 15.3 - too old.
- Fedora versions before 39 are possibly too old to support boost json. There's no version history because these versions are out of support.
- Remove support for Jammy and Focal
- Make GitHub.ci run bootstrap
- code ql - restrict to run on ubuntu 24.04. ubuntu-latest includes focal and jammy.
- gh-actions-pr.yml - add sudo to bootstrap
- vcpkg.json - add json. Prevent fail on windows
- Upgrade from jammy to noble in github-actions.
- Remove old OSes.
- Fix cmake to use python38 instead of python3
- Disable rocky Linux due to bug
- Fix bookworm libboost-program-options to use version 1.81 and not 1.74
