Adjusting the merge task creation loop to accommodate
the newly merged segments so that the eventual merge
results/ number of segments stay within the calculated budget.
Previously, CalcBudget() was treating
MergePlanOptions.SegmentsPerMergeTask as the growth factor while
computing the idealized staircase of segments.
This change introduces a TierGrowth option to MergePlanOptions for
more control and so that SegmentsPerMergeTask can be tweaked
independently of the tier growth factor.
