You slightly misunderstood my initial intention. There are two
kinds of what we call ephemeral spaces: first ones are real
ephemeral spaces which are created during VDBE runtime
to hold materialised intermediate results of query execution.
They are destroyed when query is finished. Second type 
consists of surrogate defs allocated using region and they
are used to keep meta-information during compilation of
DML queries. They are not real space object and I have
no idea why we call them ‘ephemeral’, I guess it is a big mess.
A while ago, we had to use some marked for such surrogate
spaces to process special clean-up operations. And it was
decided that we would use ‘is_temporary’ flag.

I’ve force pushed my updates (commit message + code fixes).

Message:

    sql: replace is_temprorary with is_ephemeral for surrogate defs
    
    Up to this point, the is_temporary flag has been set for surrogate space
    definitions used to transfer meta-information during compilation stage
    of DML queries (CREATE TABLE/INDEX etc).
    
    At some point, it became possible to use spaces created in Lua in
    SQL statements. Since it is allowed to create temporary spaces in
    Lua, not all temporary spaces in SQL are surrogate wrappers. To separate
    real temporary spaces (i.e. which came from space cache) from surrogate
    ones, is_ephemeral flag is now set in such spaces instead of
    is_temporary. Note that there can't be mess between these flags since
    ephemeral spaces can exist only during execution of VDBE bytecode.
    Also note that flag is required only for debugging facilities.
    
    Close #4139
