A lot of criticism on Reddit about boost being ancient so I added an ExternalProject to compile boost from source. We are not compiling nor downloading the entire boost though, only libs/regex and a handful of its dependencies so download and build is kept to minimum.
Added a note on what to install on Ubuntu 20.04 as guidance.
CMake supports multi-line commands so I lined up the vendor file to 80 columns for better readability without changing the commands themselves.
Got a top Intel AWS C6i (IceLake) machine for a couple hours to run the benchmarks and added the results to the end as well.
