[PATCH 08/12] alter: introduce preparation phase

We may yield while rebuilding a vinyl index hence we must not modify
the old space before we are done building all indexes, otherwise the
user might see an inconsistent state while a space is being altered.
Currently, this requirement doesn't hold - we both modify the old space
and build the new indexes in AlterSpaceOp::alter. Let's introduce
AlterSpaceOp::prepare method that will perform all yielding operations
and forbid yielding in AlterSpaceOp::alter.

Actually, we introduce two new methods AlterSpaceOp::prepare and abort.
The latter is called if preparation phase failed and we need to undo the
effect of AlterSpaceOp::prepare for all operations that have performed
it. AlterSpaceOp::rollback is now only called in case of WAL error.
AlterSpaceOp::alter may not fail anymore, not that it needs to anyway.

Here's the list of AlterSpaceOp descendants that now use 'prepare'
instead of 'alter': CheckSpaceFormat, CreateIndex, DropIndex, and
RebuildIndex.

While we are at it, let's also add some comments to AlterSpaceOp
methods.
