URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/14431

   ### Description
   
   Using IndexWriter's `forceMergeDeletes` to eliminate merge debt is a very 
useful feature -- especially during initial indexing. However, larger indexes 
can require 20+ minutes to finish a `forceMergeDeletes` call. It would be a 
useful feature if we add an API for specifying a timeout for the existing 
`doWait` argument. Instead of blocking until `forceMergeDeletes` finishes, we 
should block until either `forceMergeDeletes` finishes or the timeout is 
reached, whichever comes first.
