[PATCH 0/4] Abort vinyl transactions before switching to ro

In contrast to memtx, vinyl transactions may yield, which opens a time
window for the instance to switch to read-only mode. Since we check ro
flag only before executing a dml request, nothing prevents a transaction
from committing in such a case. This breaks master-replica switching
logic implemented by one of our customers, which justifiably assumes
that no local writes are allowed on an instance once box.cfg{read_only}
returns.

Fix this by forcefully aborting all local rw transactions in vinyl
before switching to read-only mode.
