[tarantool-patches] [PATCH v3 0/6] box/console: Improve lua mode for remote console

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

This series address a problem where we can hang a connection setting up
lua mode while server continue treating all data as having built-in yaml
end of string terminator.

We've a long discussion with @alexander.turenko about our test engine
and console eos in general and at first concluded that by default we
should not use ";" as lua terminator but continue using empty string
instead. Actually after thinking more I fear it won't work -- a user
might connect to remote console and this connection will hang because
server will reply with empty eos while we're using read() from socket
with terminator at the end of string. Moreover since our yaml serializer
*always* yield eos terminator I think we should do the same for lua
mode just to be consistent in architecture.

Still for convenience I added ability to zap lua terminator via
require('console').eos("") command. Thus users on local consoles
can drop ';' eos if they want to.

v3:
 - address Kostya comments
