LUCENE-8310: Ensure IndexFileDeleter accounts for pending deletes
Today we fail creating the IndexWriter when the directory has a
pending delete. Yet, this is mainly done to prevent writing still
existing files more than once. IndexFileDeleter already accounts for
that for existing files which we can now use to also take pending
deletes into account which ensures that all file generations per segment
always go forward.

> I recently fixed the check in IW to fail if there are pending deletes. After
> upgrading to a snapshot I realized the consequences of this check. It made
> most of our usage of IW to for instance prepare commit metadata, rollback to
> safe commit-points etc. impossible since we have to now busy wait on top of
> directory util all deletes are actually gone even though that we can
> guarantee that our history always goes forward. ie we are truly append-only
> in the sense of never reusing segment generations. The fix that I made was
> basically return false from a _checkPendingDeletions_ in a directory wrapper
> to work around it.
> I do expect this to happen to a lot of lucene users even if they use IW
> correctly. My proposal is to make the check in IW a bit more sophisticated
> and only fail if there are pending deletes that are in the future from a
> generation perspective. We really don't care about files from the past. My
> patch checks the segment generation of each pending file which is safe since
> that is the same procedure we apply in IndexFileDeleter to inc reference etc.
> and only fail if the pending delete is in the future.
