Boost.Bimap is a bit faster (150-190% faster), and less
memory-consumer. Whereas the old Double_map implementation does not seem to
be sensitive to caching effects, the Bimap implementation seems to be
faster when run twice or more.
See the measurements bellow. Three runs of ./bench_double_map.bimap and
./bench_double_map.cgal. They are both compiled with -O2, and
./bench_double_map.bimap is compiled with -DCGAL_USE_BOOST_BIMAP
-I<path_to_boost_bimap>.

- CGAL_MESHES_DEBUG_REFINEMENT_POINTS,
- and CGAL_MESH_3_DIRTY_DEBUG_SPHERES.
These are not activated by default, of course. The latter was to debug
test/Mesh_3/combined_spheres.cpp.
