Include ability to force merge segments in `elastic/security` #657

Force merging allows us to compare segment size and overall storage size reasoning about storage saving. The security track is missing a way to force merge.

We are not going to set this parameter in nightlies but we still would like to have it for ad-hoc runs, since it makes reasoning about storage footprint easier.

This needs back-porting to Rally 8.15 branch.

I tested this running it with a stateful configuration and it works.
