[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH] vinyl: unthrottle scheduler on checkpoint

Before this patch box.snapshot() bails out immediately if it sees that
the scheduler is throttled due to errors. For instance:

box.error.injection.set('ERRINJ_VY_RUN_WRITE', true)
snapshot() -- fails due to ERRINJ_VY_RUN_WRITE
box.error.injection.set('ERRINJ_VY_RUN_WRITE', false)
snapshot() -- still fails despite the fact that injected error is unset

As a result, one has to wait up to a minute to make a snapshot. The
reason why throttling was introduced was to avoid flooding the log
in case of repeating disk errors.
On the other hand, checkpoint process is either called manually or on
schedule. What is more, to deal with schedule throttling in tests, we
had to introduce a new error injection (ERRINJ_VY_SCHED_TIMEOUT).
It reduces time duration during which the scheduler remains throttled,
which is ugly and race prone.
So, let's unthrottle scheduler when checkpoint process is launched.

Closes #3519
---
Note that VY_SCHED_TIMEOUT error injection is not completely removed
from tests, since at least one of them fails (instance crashes) without
it (vinyl/errinj_stat.test.lua). It's not a problem of this patch -
reproducer is extracted and filed in gh-4821.
