Expire space records using index

-- ## Alternative check function

indexpiration.upgrade(box.space.myspace, {
    field = number | 'name',
    kind  = function(t)
        -- calculate time, left for tuple to live and return it.
        -- time MUST correlate with order in index for `field`
        
        -- this is sample of 'time64' kind (beware of unsigneds):
