Merge #2903: [GA] Link Boost 1.76 regardless of pre-existing version

0c49798 [GA] Link Boost 1.76 regardless of pre-existing version (Fuzzbawls)

Pull request description:

  GA's macos-11 runner images have been inconsistent in their inclusion of
   a pre-installed version of the Boost library, and trying to gracefully
   unlink a non-existent package results in an error.

  Skip the unlink step and just force overwrite linking boost 1.76.
