Remove boost dependency from GeneratorInterface/LHEInterface

[camolezi]

PR description:

• C++17 std::filesystem is very similar to boost::filesystem. There is no reason to use boost::filesystem in this case, when std::filesystem could be used
• We can delete the copy constructor and copy assignment operator instead of using boost::noncopyable
• In this case we don't need boost::ptr_deque. Its possible to use std::deque< std::unique_ptr > without a loss in readability

PR validation:

Passed on basic runTheMatrix test.
