Here is the preliminary RFC version of a patchset, which is implementing
datetime lua support in box, their messagepack, yaml, json serialization
support, and a set of c and lua tests.

* It's heavily influenced by Sci-Lua lua-time module implementation
  https://github.com/stepelu/lua-time 
  e.g. you could find very similar approach for handling of operations
  with year and months periods (which should be handled differently than
  usual seconds, days periods).

* But internally it actually uses Christina Hanson' c-dt module
  https://github.com/chansen/c-dt 
  (though it has been modified slightly for cleaner integration
  into cmake build process)

This is preliminary version of patchset, with unoptimal patches divisions
(like you could see patches with rename refactorings), but, due to an amount
of code in patchset, and limited time have, I send patchset as RFC today,
expecting to receive initial feedback for various parts of a series.

Prior plan was to split series into one, which introduces datetime module api,
and another one with datetime messagepack serialization implementation.
But here they left as part of a same series. Sorry, for invonvenience - I'll
reshuffle order according to feedback provided.

The problem, which was stopping such simple division - that `datetime.lua`
module uses `datetime_to_string()` ffi function for stringization of a
datetime object. And this function has been introduced as part of
messagepack/yaml/json serialization support. Yes, intra-dependendencies
between parts looks suboptimal, and I'm very open to suggestions how to
divide it properly.

Module API
==========

To simplify review of a code in patchset below you could find preliminary
documentation of a datetime api module. Eventually we may put it
as .rst file in documentation repository (though, personally, I'd prefer
to have all modules api committed to the same repo as code, but I digress)

Datetime module
===============

This module allows to parse date/time stamps, manipulate with them, and
generate textual representation. Parsing of date constants will handle
all ISO-8601 formats, and deal with some extensions.

For internal date representation it uses cdata structures of a form:

```c++
struct t_datetime {
	int secs;
	int nsecs;
	int offset;
};
```

Where:

-   secs is the (signed) number of seconds since epoch 1970-01-01T00:00Z;
-   nsecs is number of nanoseconds since beginning of day;
-   offset is the timezone offset (in minutes);

`datetime()` – create datetime object
-------------------------------------

Create date/time object using either string literals, or initialization
object. When given string literals it behaves like wrapper around
parse() method.

When there is initialization object it could create date/time object
using these attributes below:

| **Easy way** |                                                                                                 |
|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| secs         | Seconds since epoch                                                                             |
| nsec         | Nanoseconds since midnight                                                                      |
| offset       | Time-zone offset in minutes                                                                     |
| **YMD part** |                                                                                                 |
| year         | Year in range \[1..9999\]                                                                       |
| month        | Month in range \[1..12\]                                                                        |
| day          | Day in month in range \[1..31\]                                                                 |
| **HMS part** |                                                                                                 |
| hour         | Hour in range \[0..23\]                                                                         |
| minute       | Minute in range \[0..59\]                                                                       |
| second       | Seconds in range \[0..60\]. It allows to have fraction part in which case it goes to nsec field |
| tz           | Timezone offset (in minutes) for HMS part                                                       |

Example:

```lua

datetime = require `datetime`

d = datetime{secs = 0, nsec = 0, offset = 0}
d = datetime(‘1970-01-01’)
d = datetime{year = 1970, month = 1, day = 1}
```

`delta()` – create time duration object
---------------------------------------

TBD

`parse()` – parse full ISO-8601 string
--------------------------------------

Parse full length date/time literal, which may be in ISO-8601 format of
any of extended formats supported by `parse_date()`, `parse_time()` or
`parse_timezone()`

It deals with date/time string in format

`date ([Tt ] time ([ ] time_zone)? )?`

Where time or `time_zone` parts may be omitted.

Example:

```lua

datetime = require `datetime`

d = datetime.parse(`1970-01-01`)
d = datetime.parse(`1970-01-01T00:00:00Z`)
d = datetime.parse(`1970-01-01T02:00:00+02:00`)
```

`parse_date()` – parse ISO-8601 date literal
--------------------------------------------

Parse date string literal, return partial date object which has
precision of up-to date period of time.

A number of standard ISO-8601 formats supported, plus there are some
relaxed formats which are of frequently use:

| Basic    | Extended   |                          |
|----------|------------|--------------------------|
| 20121224 | 2012-12-24 | Calendar date (ISO 8601) |
| 2012359  | 2012-359   | Ordinal date (ISO 8601)  |
| 2012W521 | 2012-W52-1 | Week date (ISO 8601)     |
| 2012Q485 | 2012-Q4-85 | Quarter date             |

`parse_time()` – parse ISO-8601 time literal
--------------------------------------------

Parse time string literal, return partial date/time object, which
defines time period inside of single date.

A number of standard ISO-8601 formats supported, plus there are some
relaxed formats which are of frequently use:

| Basic             | Extended            |
|-------------------|---------------------|
| T12               | N/A                 |
| T1230             | T12:30              |
| T123045           | T12:30:45           |
| T123045.123456789 | T12:30:45.123456789 |
| T123045,123456789 | T12:30:45,123456789 |

The time designator T may be omitted.

`parse_zone()` – parse ISO-8601 time zone
-----------------------------------------

Parse time-zone string literal, return partial date/time object, which
defines timezone offset in minutes sing GMT.

A number of standard ISO-8601 formats supported, plus there are some
relaxed formats which are of frequently use:

| Basic | Extended |
|-------|----------|
| Z     | N/A      |
| ±hh   | N/A      |
| ±hhmm | ±hh:mm   |

`tostring()` – convert datetime object to string
------------------------------------------------

Return string representation (probably compact if there are some parts
missing) of a date-time objects passed

`now()` – return current date/time
----------------------------------

`now()` returns local date and time object. It will use local time-zone
and nanosecond precision.

`strftime()` – convert date object to string using format
---------------------------------------------------------

`strftime()` is the FFI wrapper around strftime() function in LIBC. It
supports all the same flags which supports strftime() from host OS.

See
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/strftime.html>
for more details.

`asctime()` – convert date object to string using asctime predefined format
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

`asctime()` is the FFI wrapper over `asctime_r()` from a host libc. asctime
returns string in the form `"Sun Sep 16 01:03:52 1973\\n\\0"`

<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/asctime.html>

`ctime()` – convert local time to string using ctime() predefined format
------------------------------------------------------------------------

`ctime()` is the FFI wrapper over `ctime_r()` in the host libc. ctime
returns string in the form `"Sun Sep 16 01:03:52 1973\\n\\0"`

<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/ctime.html>

The difference of `ctime()` and `asctime()` is that former is returning
local time zone formatted, while the latter will deal with GMT.

Examples:

```
tarantool> date = require 'datetime'
---
...
tarantool> T = date.now()
---
...
tarantool> T
---
- 2021-07-14T01:36:48.554105+03:00
...
tarantool> date.asctime(T)
---
- 'Tue Jul 13 22:36:48 2021
'
...
tarantool> date.ctime(T)
---
- 'Wed Jul 14 01:36:48 2021
'
...
```

| `seconds`      | Alias to timestamp                                              |
| `minutes`      | Number of minutes in time part                                  |
| `hours`        | Number of hours in time part                                    |
| `days`         | Number of days in time part                                     |

```
tarantool> d = date{year = 1970, month = 1, day = 1, hour = 0, minute = 10, second=10}
