Offer a force-merge option after import #1063

Description

@lonvia

We are seeing two independent issues with the import of planet-sized databases:

  • when importing with multiple threads there is a slight database bloat of 5-10%
  • people have reported timeouts when starting up a large database on slow disks

I'd like to experiment with force-merge to consolidate a freshly imported database. It might help with both issues.

Given that force-merge is an operation that can take a very long time, this should be an optional operation to be selected at the command-line. And we need to disable timeouts while it runs.
