Hi! Thanks for the patch!

If VIEW contains constant fields (e.g. CREATE VIEW v AS SELECT 1, 'k';)
it uses string representation of literal as a field name. In the example
above it would be '1' and 'k'. However, if VIEW is created using AS VALUES
syntax, then expressions representing constant literals lack of names
(since span-expression is not assigned in this case).
Lets generate names for all fields which lack names for VIEW.
Closes #3849

Issue: https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/issues/3849

I prefer this variant to parser's one. Parser fix weakens perf adding Span
to each expr even not used for VALUES.

I prefer v2 for the same reason.

The patch is ok except field name. Are you sure '__auto-fld:%d' is ok? I
think here we should follow our usual naming policy: single '_' prefix for
system names, use '_' instead of '-', ' ', ':'. And do not use contractions
(as I remember we do not contract system names, but I can be wrong).

Also I propose to start fields enumeration from 1.

So my favorite name template is '_auto_field_%d', from 1 to N_fields.

Ok, but I had to fix several tests to use this pattern:

Also why don't you add number suffix to a first name? Maybe it is worth
naming all fields in the same way?

IMHO it looks more clear when first member comes as is
(i.e. without ordinal number).
