Do not balance data between shards owning more than the ideal data size

      The data size aware balancing introduced in v6.0.3+ versions can potentially schedule migrations between shards that are above the optimal data size threshold.

      The chunk-based balancing was avoiding that by only scheduling migrations to shards with a sufficiently low number of chunks.

      Example

      There are 400GB to spread across 4 shards (ideally 100GB per shard) currently distributed in the following way:

      • Shard0: 130GB
      • Shard1: 120GB
      • Shard2: 110GB
      • Shard3: 40GB
      Next balancing round (currently):
      • Shard0 donates to shard3
      • Shard1 donates to shard2 (this is the bug -> there is no real need to donate from shard1 to shard2 because they both need to reach 100GB)
      Expected next balancing round after fixing this:
      • Shard0 donates to shard3

      (Problem/solution very similar to SERVER-75481)
