Link against Boost::Thread when UHD is enabled

This is necessary on some systems, for a reason that is not entirely
clear. I believe UHD's pkg-config file should instruct us to link
against boost-thread if necessary, but it doesn't.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_BOOST_THREAD
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Test for Thread library from the Boost C++ libraries. The macro requires
+#   a preceding call to AX_BOOST_BASE. Further documentation is available at
+#   <http://randspringer.de/boost/index.html>.
+#
+#   This macro calls:
+#
+#     AC_SUBST(BOOST_THREAD_LIB)
+#
+#   And sets:
+#
+#     HAVE_BOOST_THREAD
