LUCENE-8688: Forced merges merge more than necessary.
> Forced merges merge more than necessary

> A user reported some surprise after the upgrade to Lucene 7.5 due to changes
> to how forced merges are selected when maxSegmentCount is greater than 1.
> Before 7.5 forceMerge used to pick up the least amount of merging that would
> result in an index that has maxSegmentCount segments at most. Now that we
> share the same logic as regular merges, we are almost sure to pick a
> maxMergeAtOnceExplicit-segments merge (30 segments) given that merges that
> have more segments usually score better. This is due to the fact that natural
> merges assume that merges that run now save work for later, so the more
> segments get merged, the better. This assumption doesn't hold for forced
> merges that should run on read-only indices, so there won't be any future
> merging.
