Add an UPDATE flag that instructs the server to return immediately from UPDATE

Registered by Kostja Osipov

Add an UPDATE flag that instructs the server to return immediately from UPDATE, without waiting for wal_writer to finish.

Implementation details
-----------------------------

Flag name: BOX_NOWAIT
We need to spin off a separate fiber that will handle the client connection going forward, since the original fiber still needs to wait for the wal_writer, and rollback the transaction in memory if wal_writer fails.

We need to learn how to live with multiple tuple versions in memory for this to work well.
