Force Merge should reject requests with only_expunge_deletes and `m…

…ax_num_segments` set (#44761)

This commit changes the ForceMergeRequest.validate() method so that it does 
not accept the parameters only_expunge_deletes and max_num_segments 
to be set at the same time.

The motivation is that InternalEngine.forceMerge() just ignores the max. number 
of segments parameter when the only expunge parameter is set to true, leaving 
the wrong impression to the user that max. number of segments has been applied. 
It also changes InternalEngine.forceMerge() so that it now throws an exception 
when both parameters are set, and modifies tests where needed.

Because it changes the behavior of the REST API I marked this as >breaking. 

Closes #43102

+=== Force Merge API changes
+
+Previously, the Force Merge API allowed the parameters `only_expunge_deletes`
+and `max_num_segments` to be set to a non default value at the same time. But
+the `max_num_segments` was silently ignored when `only_expunge_deletes` is set
+to `true`, leaving the false impression that it has been applied.
+
+The Force Merge API now rejects requests that have a `max_num_segments` greater
+than or equal to 0 when the `only_expunge_deletes` is set to true.
