      WT::compact skips compaction if the data size is too small
      "skipping because the file size must be greater than 1MB"

      MDB layer JS tests calling the compact command aren't actually testing compaction because compaction is skipped due to too little data. For reference this is the WT::compact code.

      This is the list of effected tests:

      jstests/noPassthrough/index_version_autoupgrade.js.
      jstests/replsets/read_committed_with_catalog_changes.js
      jstests/concurrency/fsm_workloads/compact.js
      jstests/concurrency/fsm_workloads/compact_while_creating_indexes.js

      There are other tests call the MDB compact command, but the intent in those tests are things like auth, allowed to run on a secondary, view namespace handling, etc.
