Compilation fail with boost 1.64

Hi,

I'm running into the error described here while attempting to compile using boost 1.64: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44534516/error-make-array-is-not-a-member-of-boostserialization

I realise that this is not a bug in metabat per se, but I was able to work around it by adding headers as suggested in metabat.h and metabat2.h. I'm not sure if anything should necessarily be done with the metabat code base itself, I suppose this is more of an advise to others, at least.
