[tarantool-patches] [PATCH 1/1] box: raise an error on nil replicaset and instance uuid

[Vladislav Shpilevoy]

Before the patch the nil UUID was ignored and a new random one
was generated. This was because internally box treats nil UUID
as its absense.

Now a user will see an explicit message that nil UUID is a
reserved value.

Closes #4282
