Hi, Sergey!
Thanks for the comments, here is the new commit message:
=======================================================
luajit-gdb: support dualnum mode
 
luajit-gdb.py displays integers in LJ_DUALNUM mode as nan-s. The
dumper function produces output thinking of any input value as of a
double. However, in DUALNUM mode, integers and doubles are stored
differently, so the `itype` of a float number must be less than
`LJ_TISNUM`, and the `itype` of an integer must be `LJ_TISNUM`. With
this fact in mind, we can easily differentiate one from another.
 
Closes tarantool/tarantool#6224
