[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH rfc] lua: expose luaL_serializer to Lua

There are several modules in Lua allowing to transform data from one format to
another (yaml, msgpack, json). They are configured via cfg method. The options
are parts of struct luaL_serializer object in C. That method used to be
implemented via additional table on Lua stack and overriden __call metamethod.
Such implementation had hudge shortcoming: any field could be
changed/added via raw modification. And such change was not visible for
tarantool.
To leave the only one source of information/configuration possibility cfg table
was changed to userdata with index, newindex, pairs, call and serialize
metamethods. And the interface was remained unchanged.
Closes #4521
