Description

Seems better to have it as it simplifies parsing types passed to C stored procedures from Lua.

Preferably along with str[n]index and lengthof (these ones would not belong to module.h as they're not Tarantool-related, so seems like a bad idea, actually).

Research direction

Start by locating module.h and the existing field_type_strs definition, then trace the Lua C stored-procedure type parsing described in the issue. Done means field_type_strs is exposed through module.h and the parsing use case works as intended.
