IVGCVSW-5962 Remove boost::multi_array

 * Replaced all instances of boost::multi_array with flat vectors.
 * Updated LayerTestResult struct with new member variables.
 * Updated CompareTensor function to compare flat vectors and the shape.
 * Removed MakeTensor function from TensorHelpers.hpp.
 * Removed GetTensorShapeAsArray function from LayerTestResult.hpp.
 * Removed boost::array usage.
 * Removed boost::extents usages.
 * Removed boost::random usages.
