[tarantool-patches] [PATCH 1/1] key_def: key_def.new() accept both 'field' and 'fieldno'

[Vladislav Shpilevoy]

Closes #4519

@TarantoolBot document
Title: key_def.new() accept both 'field' and 'fieldno'

Before the patch key_def.new() took an index part
array as it is returned in <index_object>.parts: each
part should include 'type', 'fieldno', and what else
.parts element contains.

But it was not possible to create a key_def from an
index definition - the array passed to
<space_object>.create_index() 'parts' argument. Because
key_def.new() didn't recognize 'field' option. That
might be useful, when a key_def is needed on a remote
client, where a space object and its indexes do not
exist. And it would be strange to force a user to
create them just so as he would be able to access

    <net_box connection>.space.<space_name>.
        index.<index_name>.parts

As well as it would be crutchy to make a user manually
replace 'field' with 'fieldno' in its index definition
just to create a key_def.

Additionally, an ability to pass an index definition
to a key_def constructor makes the API more symmetric.

Note, that it still is not 100% symmetric, because a
user can't pass field names to the key_def
constructor. A space is needed for that anyway.
