For now, disable it since the below command indicates it can cause a
failure. Running that command with -experimental_mempurge_threshold=0
has been running successfully for several minutes, whereas before it
failed in seconds.

$ while rm -rf /dev/shm/single_stress && ./db_stress --clear_column_family_one_in=0 --column_families=1 --db=/dev/shm/single_stress --experimental_mempurge_threshold=5.493146827397074 --flush_one_in=10000 --reopen=0 --write_buffer_size=262144 --value_size_mult=33 --max_write_buffer_number=3 -ops_per_thread=10000; do : ; done

Summary:
Change the `MemPurge` code to address a failure during a crash test reported in #8958.

### Details and results of the crash investigation:
These failures happened in a specific scenario where the list of immutable tables was composed of 2 or more memtables, and the last memtable was the output of a previous `Mempurge` operation. Because the `PickMemtablesToFlush` function included a sorting of the memtables (previous PR related to the Mempurge project), and because the `VersionEdit` of the flush class is piggybacked onto a single one of these memtables, the `VersionEdit` was not properly selected and applied to the `VersionSet` of the DB. Since the `VersionSet` was not edited properly, the database was losing track of the SST file created during the flush process, which was subsequently deleted (and as you can expect, caused the tests to crash).
The following command consistently failed, which was quite convenient to investigate the issue:
`$ while rm -rf /dev/shm/single_stress && ./db_stress --clear_column_family_one_in=0 --column_families=1 --db=/dev/shm/single_stress --experimental_mempurge_threshold=5.493146827397074 --flush_one_in=10000 --reopen=0 --write_buffer_size=262144 --value_size_mult=33 --max_write_buffer_number=3 -ops_per_thread=10000; do : ; done`

### Solution proposed
The memtables are no longer sorted based on their `memtableID` in the `PickMemtablesToFlush` function. Additionally, the `next_log_number` of the memtable created as an output of the `Mempurge` function now takes in the correct value (the log number of the first memtable being mempurged). Finally, the VersionEdit object of the flush class now takes the maximum `next_log_number` of the stack of memtables being flushed, which doesnt change anything when Mempurge is `off` but becomes necessary when Mempurge is `on`.

### Testing of the solution
The following command no longer fails:
``$ while rm -rf /dev/shm/single_stress && ./db_stress --clear_column_family_one_in=0 --column_families=1 --db=/dev/shm/single_stress --experimental_mempurge_threshold=5.493146827397074 --flush_one_in=10000 --reopen=0 --write_buffer_size=262144 --value_size_mult=33 --max_write_buffer_number=3 -ops_per_thread=10000; do : ; done``
Additionally, I ran `db_crashtest` (`whitebox` and `blackbox`) for 2.5 hours with MemPurge on and did not observe any crash.
