[vcpkg-scripts][boost] Improve generate-ports.ps1 (microsoft#38814)

- Change homepage URLs to point to documentation instead of GH.
- Allow encoding alternative propagation of `supports`/`platform` so
that changes don't need to be selected manually.
- Allow to suppress the generated dependency `platform` expression when
a dependency is non-optional.
(`boost-parameter` requires `boost-python`, and the dependency
transitively determines the supported platforms of the dependent port.)
- For port `boost`, generate `platform` expression from transitive
`supports` limitations.
(`boost-parameter` platform expression must account for `boost-python`.)
This fixes port `boost` for uwp. And so it can now be directly
referenced from `vcpkg-ci-boost` which is already enforced to `pass` in
ci.baseline.txt. 🎉
 - Restores sorting of `$portData`.
 - Use the same tarball download area and naming as `vcpkg install`.
 
This PR doesn't include the updates to `boost-container` (microsoft#38806),
`bost-interprocess` (microsoft#38815) and boost-math (microsoft#38728)
