When the key of a table to compare via `tap.test:is_deeply()` is
non-concatable object (i.e. lightuserdata) concatenation with path
 ^^^^ does it mean the object has no __concat, while has __tostring?

As a result: is there a case an object has no __tostring?

Yes, for example, userdata may have no neither __tostring, nor __concat
metamethod, but tostring() will show us its value and prevent raising an
error.

| luajit -e 'print(getmetatable(newproxy(true)).__tostring, getmetatable(newproxy(true)).__concat); local r = "ud: "..tostring(newproxy()) print(r)'
| nil     nil
| ud: userdata: 0x41edce48


raises an error.

This patch converts object to string to avoid this error.

Needed for tarantool/tarantool#5629
