Review Comment:
   I didn't end up making this change yet because it would make things a bit 
tricky for things like json serialization. It would make the serialization 
harder because the json code would now have to duplicate business logic and 
know to translate NEVER to -1 and NOW to 0 for the delay. 
[This](https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/5187/files#diff-d0c46782a2fa101a9e218b4e37c26a18c066e0745128fb351b08b4e8f1480483R84)
 is the spot I am talking about. 
   
   That code would have to make sure to not call getDelay() unless it was 
positive and we would introduce multiple locations in the code that need to be 
updated if we wanted to change the meaning of -1 and 0. They are different 
packages so we can't make it package scope for the private delay either.
   
   All that being said, I think this is doable and not a bad idea but we if we 
do this I think it probably makes sense to completely decouple the 
serialization as well if the intent is to be more flexible in the future and no 
other code should really know what -1 and 0 mean outside of the internals of 
TabletMergeability. This would mean only allowing publicly accessible methods 
that create a TabletMergeability to set a delay of > 0 and requiring the use of 
TabletMergeability.now() or TabletMergeability.never() for all other cases so 
[this](https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/5187/files#diff-b7655aae54212259b0644ce511c60e22e39b1f9122701f427a176587477921b3R141)
 method would go away.
   
   For serialization, I think the json format in TabletMergeabilityMetadata 
would need to be changed to something like the following:
   
   ```java
   private static class GSonData {
     boolean never;
     boolean now;
     Long delay;
     Long steadyTime;
   }
   ```
   
   and we would just have to set steadyTime and delay to null values if either 
never or now was true.
   
   @keith-turner - thoughts?
