[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH 01/13] popen: require popen handle to be non-NULL

[Alexander Turenko <alexander.turenko@tarantool.org>]

Further commits will add proper entries into the diagnostics area for
failures inside popen functions. We should either report handle == NULL
case via the diagnostics area or ensure that the NULL handle case is not
possible.

The latter approach is implemented in this commit. There are two
reasons for this:

* This way simplifies function contracts (one less kind of failure).
* The popen Lua module (that will be implemented in the further commits)
  will not construct any logic using NULL as a handle. When 'NULL
  handle' error is not possible in the C API, it will be easier to
  verify that this failure is not possible the Lua API.

A user of the C API should take care to don't call those functions with
NULL handle.
