[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH 1/1] iproto: don't destroy a session during disconnect

Binary session disconnect trigger yield could lead to use after
free of the session object. That happened because iproto thread
sent two requests to TX thread at disconnect:

    - Close the session and run its on disconnect triggers;

    - If all requests are handled, destroy the session.

When a connection is idle, all requests are handled, so both these
requests are sent. If the first one yielded in TX thread, the
second one arrived and destroyed the session right under the feet
of the first one.

This can be solved in two ways - in TX thread, and in iproto
thread.

TX thread solution (which is chosen in the patch): add a flag
which says whether disconnect is processed by TX. When destroy
request arrives, it checks the flag. If disconnect is not done,
the destroy request waits on a condition variable until it is.

The solution is simple, but adds new members to iproto_connection
struct, and requires lots of commenting.

Iproto thread solution (alternative): just don't send destroy
request until disconnect returns back to iproto thread.

Closes #4627

Issue: https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/issues/4627

There is a second version of a fix, which I like more. But anyway
decided to send this one too.
