Subject: [PATCH] sql: add ARRAY, MAP and ANY types to mem_apply_type()

Function mem_apply_type() implements implicit type conversion. As
a rule, tuple to be inserted to the space is exposed to this
conversion which is invoked during execution of OP_MakeRecord
opcode (which in turn forms tuple). This function was not adjusted
to operate on ARRAY, MAP and ANY field types since they are poorly
supported in current SQL implementation. Hence, when tuple to be
inserted in space having mentioned field types reaches this
function, it results in error. Note that we can't set ARRAY or MAP
types in SQL, but such situation may appear during UPDATE
operation on space created via Lua interface. This problem is
solved by extending implicit type conversions with obvious casts:
array field can be casted to array, map to map and any to any.

Closes #4189
