[tarantool-patches] [PATCH v2 2/2] tuple: introduce bigref hints

Typical usage of bigrefs: allocate many bigrefs in Lua in a row,
reach memory threshold and delete many bigrefs in a row.

Hits allow to make multiple refs deletions or creations be
faster. For example, before the patch complexity of N refs with
C capacity in a row: O(C) * N.
After the patch:     O(C) + N.

Same about unrefs.
