Please expand this comment to explain why we can't create this
space purely from Lua or upgrade script: 

There is an intricate ordering dependency between creating of this
system space, recovery, and engine initialization, when we set an
on_replace trigger on the space. To resolve this dependency, we
create a space stub at schema_init(), then set a trigger in
engine_init(), which is called next, and then "alter" the space to
its final form in recovery(), which is called next.

Otherwise OK to push.
