Summary:                    FindBoost ignores Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATH in debug
builds
Description: 
It seems the FindBoost module in Clion 1.1's new cmake ignores the
Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS for a Debug build, selecting /usr/lib64 instead of the
correct library path, resulting in link errors.

I had to do this to make the Debug configuration work:

Work around FindBoost locating debug libs in the /usr/lib64 instead of the
custom installation
SET(Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_DEBUG $ENV{HOME}/usr/local/boost/lib CACHE PATH "Forced
boost lib dir for debug" FORCE)
SET(Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY_DEBUG
$ENV{HOME}/usr/local/boost/lib/libboost_program_options-gcc49-mt-1_56.so CACHE
FILEPATH "Forced boost program_options lib dir for debug" FORCE)

Here is the cmake output showing the incorrect Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_DEBUG

Boost_FOUND = 1
– Boost version: 1.56.0
– Found the following Boost libraries:

Steps to Reproduce: 
Try to link a boost program using a custom installation of Boost in your home
directory with a different, incompatible one installed by default in the Linux
OS filesystem.

Additional Information: 
This worked fine until I updated to this version with the latest CLion.
