In my view, argument parsing is now implemented conceptually incorrectly 
because the LuaRoks flags are parsed first according to the tarantoolctl 
rules and then according to the LuaRocks rules, and these parsings have 
a mutual influence. When upgrading to a new version of LuaRocks (in case 
of changing the list of supported flags), you will must to analyze which 
flags to support, if the flags have not changed, there will be no 
conflicts. If you have two parsers, you will need to constantly maintain 
them in a consistent state and flags other commands will be affect to 
LuaRocks. So, in my horrible opinion if you have a conflict after rebase
here, you must resolve it at the rebase time.

I have no experience using LuaRocks. If you have an approximate list of 
differences that we want to add to documentation, I can apply it to 
default. But after all, commands and flags were added that we did not 
use, why their behavior is different from default?
