Vendored asio is very outdated #153

Hi! 👋

I package this project for Arch Linux.
Link uses a bundled version of asio, which is a package that we provide on Arch Linux for several other packages.
Due to this, we devendor the version of asio from this project and allow using a system-wide provided asio (see https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/abletonlink) - the same applies for catch2.

The asio version tracked in this project is unfortunately quite outdated (1.28, while 1.34.2 is the latest version).
Over in the supercollider project this has led to build issues for our distribution: supercollider/supercollider#6672

Would it be possible for you to upgrade your vendored version of asio and adjust the code base to be compatible with asio 1.34+?
It would be immensely helpful in allowing downstreams to use system-provided versions of the respective libraries when building packages relying on link.

Thanks for the consideration! 🙏
