This commit changes the es merge policy to apply the maximum segment size
on force merges that only expunge deletes (forceMergeDeletes).
This option is useful for read-write use cases that wants to reclaim deleted docs
more aggressively than the
index.merge.policy.deletes_pct_allowed
.For the backport in 7.x my plan is to apply this new behavior only if
max_num_segments
is not set in the request ( #44761 to see why it's not an issue in ES 8x).Closes #61764
