Please explain better what this patch does, not how you achieved
that.

And while you are at it, explain why we need a secondary patching
of box.cfg at all. What's the point of preserving the pid file?

tarantoolctl: allow to start instances without a box.cfg{}

Before this patch, tarantoolctl would fail if box.cfg{} was not
called in an instance script.

This patch allows to start an instance without box.cfg{} in it. 
Such an instance:
- may only be started under systemd? 
- what can it do? 
- ???

Please add a docboc entry, since it 's a significant behaviour
change. How such an instance is used? 

Otherwise LTGM.
