[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH v8 0/4] box/cbox: implement cfunc Lua module

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

The cbox module provide a way to execute C stored procedures
on read only nodes without registring them in `_func` system space.

The series implements a bare minimum. Vlad, please take a look
once time permit. The issue with `call` simplification where
we plan to drop `tarantooL` will be addressed in another issue
which I already assigned to myself.

v1-v3 are development ones and not sent.

v5 (by vlad):
 - drop exists, list methods: they are redundant
 - rename cfunc to cbox
 - when create a function make it callable Lua object
 - initialize cbox out of modules
 - fix error in passing module name for reloading
 - make api been cbox.func.[create|drop] and
   cbox.module.reload
 - fix test for OSX sake

v6 (by vlad):
 - move module handling into module_cache file.
v7:
 - development
v8:
 - use rbtree for function instance storange, since
   i don't like the idea of unexpected rehashing of
   values in case of massive number of functions
   allocated
 - use reference counter and free function instance
   if only load/unload are coupled
 - keep a pointer to the function inside Lua object
   so we don't need to lookup on every function call.
   this force us to implement __gc method
 - use new API and update docs
