This isn't a proper fix, because the following command still crashes:

  box.schema.user.passwd(123)

And this one crashes too:

  box.session.su('admin', function(x) return #x end, 123)

Making error messages user-friendly is good, but I think that #3659 is
about invalid usage of luaT_error in lbox_session_su...
