Description

The overall situation is described in #4800.

I propose to implement necessary mechanics to do upgrades within one x.y.z.* release correctly. So it will be possible to implement an upgrade that does not block further upgrades within a release. It will not fix past upgrades.

Let's fix past upgrades (or provide a separate script to fix them) in the scope of #4800.

Research direction

Start by reading the overall situation in issue #4800, then trace how schema upgrades are handled during a Tarantool update within an x.y.z.* release. Done means a new upgrade can proceed without blocking later upgrades in the same release; fixing past upgrades is explicitly out of scope here.
