1. Then please explain why do you need in storage_1_a.lua
* two "require('fio')";
* '-- Check if we are running under test-run';
* 'names' table, 'replicasets' table;
* 'box.once("testapp:schema:1", function()';
* ...many other things.

If you do not need them, then please, cleanup your storage_1_a.lua
and extract wait_rebalancer_state into test utils since it is now
duplicated in storage/ and reload_evolution/ tests.

2. 'git tag' works only when you have git. But when you install vshard from a package,
the system can have no git. Moreover, it contradicts with tarantool versioning, that
exposes the actual version via _schema and box.info.

So please, use real version for this member and name it 'version'. You can find
the code to extract, store and compare versions in box/lua/upgrade.lua.

3. It is not the same as git tag. We can add here a new version and tag it
later, like it is done in tarantool, when we use the new version everywhere
in the new code, but release it when ready.

For example, now vshard has version 1.2.3. We change M and set version in
evolution of M in the 1.2.4 constant. When 1.2.4 is ready, we do git tag
1.2.4.

4. You are trying to make you life easier, but do not think about
users. It is not useful when you are not able to get the actual version,
because you can not use git, or you see the strange versions like 1, 2, 3, 4 ...
Nobody uses natural numbers as versions. It is weird.

I think, we should consult Kostja N. for this though.
