[PATCH 00/10] vinyl: don't yield in DDL on_commit triggers

[Vladimir Davydov]

DDL on_commit triggers may yield on vylog write, even though they don't
really need to wait for the transaction to be flushed to disk, as we can
recover it after restart. This blocks implementation of transactional
DDL (see #4083), because even an empty index creation may yield and
hence can't be executed transactionally along with other lightweight
operations, such as space creation.

This patch reworks vylog implementation so that we don't need to yield
in case the vylog transaction is non-discardable (i.e. stays in the
memory buffer in case of failure). Since on_commit triggers issue only
non-discardable transactions, this makes them non-yielding, as they
should be.
