Research direction

Start with the MemCS root document at tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/platform/engines/memcs/ and locate the section describing field options or space format. Document that default and default_func are unsupported and that using either when creating or altering a format returns an error; the work is done when the limitation is clear in the published documentation.
