LUCENE-10574: Prevent pathological merging. (#900)

This updates TieredMergePolicy and Log(Doc|Size)MergePolicy to only ever
consider merges where the resulting segment would be at least 50% bigger than
the biggest input segment. While a merge that only grows the biggest segment by
50% is still quite inefficient, this constraint is good enough to prevent
pathological O(N^2) merging.

> Remove O(n^2) from TieredMergePolicy or change defaults to one that doesn't 
> do this

> Remove {{floorSegmentBytes}} parameter, or change lucene's default to a merge 
> policy that doesn't merge in an O(n^2) way.
> I have the feeling it might have to be the latter, as folks seem really wed 
> to this crazy O(n^2) behavior.
