Core/Misc: Replace tc's optional with boost::optional. (very partial cherry-pick)

* benefits from empty optimization (objects are only constructed if needed).
* supports r-value references (move semantics) (boost >= 1.56.0).
* preparation for c++14/17's std::optional and std::none_t.
* add move constructor to CompactArray.

(cherry picked from commit 800d5d893964a82265577d3352d683035b589f78)
