[tarantool-patches] [PATCH v2 1/1] box: option to start tarantool with no format checks.

[imeevma@tarantool.org]

It is a common case that an instance is running on a version
1.6.*, then is upgraded to 1.9 with box.schema.upgrade(). But
some of users has malformed space formats, and some of them got
and ignored errors on box.schema.upgrade(). Such half-upgraded
data can not be used to start a new version due to format
violations, and can not be rolled back because some of new system
spaces managed to be created. And we can not repair raw xlogs and
snapshots because we have no such tools and they are zipped.

So it would be useful to have a special box.cfg option
ignore_space_formats. It would allow to start an instance on
the spaces with malformed formats, fix them, create a snapshot
and then start with the formats turned on.

Closes #3605

@TarantoolBot document
Title: box.cfg option 'ignore_space_formats'
The option allows to turn off space formats validation before
the instance is started. Useful to fix malformed formats after
an upgrade from version < 1.7.5 to >= 1.7.5.
