Description

Error module is the most intricate C++ part of Tarantool (probably not counting alter.cc). It is really hard to understand and maintain this code. It should be ported to C. Also that should allow to drop the 'reflection' module implementing RTTI in C.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the error.cc code to understand its functionality and dependencies. Plan a C implementation that replaces C++ features like exceptions and RTTI with C equivalents. Ensure compatibility with the rest of Tarantool.
