Olya,

Thanks for the patch, the changes you made since v1 are relevant,
however please consider several new comments I left below.

Please adjust the subject of the commit (there is a typo and its format
doesn't respect the contribution guide).

Strictly saying this commit will never "close" the #4560, due to it's
not in the projects queue. I propose to append "Part of"/"Needed by"
label to the commit message (move it prior to three dashes).

IMHO there is no need to enable this flag by default within the root
Makefile.

Please adjust the comment.

I see no option except either introducing the flag for all others VMs
or adjusting its enabling in lj_arch.h only for those supported by
Tarantool (x64, arm). Considering the changes to be done, I guess the
first approach is the right way to fix the current inconsistency, but
feel free to choose the one that seems to be the most convenient to you.

I guess the comment can be extended with the following rationale.

| Currently there is no Lua way to detect whether LJ_PAIRSMM is enabled
| or not. Therefore taking into account the fact it's enabled by default
| in tarantool built and considering the existing testing pipeline we
| can check the following scenario: while we can overload the
| pairs/ipairs behaviour via metamethod as designed in Lua 5.2,
| os.execute still preserves the Lua 5.1 interface.
