1. Although there is more than one way, i think that setting
nullable_action in  tuple_field_new is the default way to do this.
required_fields depend on it:
    if (json_token_is_leaf(&field->token) &&
        !tuple_field_is_nullable(field))
      bit_set(required_fields, field->id);

2. These fields are not really nullable. The reason it is possible is the
way of format verification. Here are some more examples:
i1 = s:create_index('i1', {parts={{1, 'unsigned'}}})
i2 = s:create_index('i2', {parts={{5, 'unsigned', is_nullable=true}}})
s:insert{1, nil, nil, nil, 5} -- ok
s:insert{1, nil, nil, nil} -- error
 
Even in case we explicitly specify the field as non-nullable without any
other details it still goes fine (which seems to be even more incorrect):
s:format({{name='field1', is_nullable=false}})
i1 = s:create_index('i1', {parts={{2, 'unsigned'}}})
i2 = s:create_index('i2', {parts={{5, 'unsigned', is_nullable=true}}})
s:insert{nil, 2, nil, nil, 5} -- ok
 
This way, with type specified, it finally gives us an error:
s:format({{name='field1', 'unsigned', is_nullable=false}})
i1 = s:create_index('i1', {parts={{2, 'unsigned'}}})
i2 = s:create_index('i2', {parts={{5, 'unsigned', is_nullable=true}}})
s:insert{nil, 2, nil, nil, 5} -- error
 
It also works fine (giving an error) with index parts:
i1 = s:create_index('i1', {parts={{1, 'unsigned'}}})
i2 = s:create_index('i2', {parts={{5, 'unsigned', is_nullable=true}}})
i3 = s:create_index('i3', {parts={{3, is_nullable=false}}})
s:insert{1, nil, nil, nil, 5} -- error
 
I think that required fields verification on insert needs to be fixed.
But it seems to be the issue for another patch.

3. I tried to think of a nicer way to create tuple format, but it seems to
be unsimplifiable.

4. Tuple format is mostly created in tuple_format_new which in turn
uses tuple_format_alloc and tuple_format_create. Depending on the field
features it's type might be specified in different places, for example,
deep in tuple_format_add_field. This means that if we want to set
nullability right after we set the type we will have to put this logic
into an amount of places, which doesn't seem to be nice. That's why I
chose to put this logic just before setting required_fields. I think it
might still be consistent as far as we are still inside of format
creation process and we depend on previously collected type info.
