Description

The only reference to a canonical way to develop modules for tarantool the current docs make is the module skeleton on github and the manual that comes with it.

Our users nowadays build complex applications and need guidance from us not only how to build modules, but also how to embed them in their applications, ship along, and upgrade in production.

@knazarov has had to develop a canonical way to build and ship lua appilcations in the enterprise, and we need to do the same for our community.

Done should provide canonical guidance for Lua package search paths, building complex applications, embedding modules, shipping applications, and upgrading them in production.
