Added `box_syntax` feature gate; added to std and rustc crates for bootstrap.

To avoid using the feauture, change uses of `box <expr>` to
`Box::new(<expr>)` alternative, as noted by the feature gate message.

(Note that box patterns have no analogous trivial replacement, at
least not in general; you need to revise the code to do a partial
match, deref, and then the rest of the match.)
