Hi, Sergey!
Thanks for the patch!
Generally LGTM, but I have a couple of questions:

1) What happens if we use a feature that is introduced in 2.4 (for
example) and becomes deprecated in:
a) 2.27?
b) 2.30?

According to CMake documentation: [1]

> *All policies known to the running version of CMake and introduced in the <min> (or <max>, if specified) version or earlier will be set to use NEW behavior. All policies introduced in later versions will be unset.* This effectively requests behavior preferred as of a given CMake version and tells newer CMake versions to warn about their new policies.

Looks acceptable for us, right?

Also, I've updated a comment before cmake_minimum_required:

and added a note to the commit message regarding compatibility

with Tarantool's cmake minimum required version:

  Note, that a current minimum required version in Tarantool is equal
    to 2.8, but <policy_max> is introduced in CMake 3.12 [2].
    However, according to [2] it is not a problem, because if CMake is
    "older than 3.12, the extra ... dots will be seen as version
    component separators, resulting in the ...<max> part being ignored
    and preserving the pre-3.12 behavior of basing policies on <min>".


2) Can we declare the minimum required version in the root
CMakeLists.txt of the project instead?

It is already done in the branch, but I haven't sent an updated

version to the list. Sorry, my bad. I'll send v2 soon.

CMake produces annoying warnings:

CMake Deprecation Warning at src/CMakeLists.txt:7 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of
  CMake.

We cannot bump a minimum required CMake version without
bumping it in a Tarantool build system. However, we can set
a max supported CMake version and suppress a warning.
CMake 3.27.7 is a version used by me for a long time for
building LuaJIT. This version is tested and seen no policy warnings
with a that version.

NOTE: another solution is using CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED,
but I don't like it. Let's discuss.
