multi_array doesn't compile

Reproduce the issue with the MSVC example in the report, then inspect boost/multi_array/storage_order.hpp and boost/multi_array/multi_array_ref.hpp at the reported lines. Check the constructor diagnostics involving deprecated assign calls and extents declarations; done means the example compiles without these errors or warnings.

There are a lot of errors with simple multi_array instantiation:

1. declaration of 'extents' hides global declaration
2. deprecated assign method is used instead of fill in boost::array used for extents and storage_order in multi_array constructor. Problem with storage_order constructor and multi_array constructor itself.
