[NTG-context] Bold Math (slightly improved solution)

Hi, I needed to use \boldsymbol recently, and studied the different solutions that have been posted on the mailing list. Using a \hbox wrapper seems to be the easiest way, but none of the definitions using \hbox took care of spacing around the symbols. Since ConTeXt now has equivalents of
