log: drop specialization of boost::lexical_cast for log_level

log.hh contains a declaration of a specializtion of lexical_cast for
log_level, noting boost doesn't pick up operator<< for log_level,
but everything seems to work without the specialization. Dropping it
means we can drop yet another boost dependency in a commonly used
header file, one that pulls in much of the boost.ranges core.
