[btree_builder] Fix issues with under populated shared nodes

A pre-built node could be under populated (less than half-full) due to
following reasons:

- A single shared leaf generated by dm-thin key removal. The residency
  could drop below 50%, until it reaches the merge threshold (33% or 44%,
  depends on its context).
- A shared root, which could have any possible nr_entries.
- Underfull shared nodes (less than 33% residency) caused by kernel issues.

To avoid producing under populated nodes, those kinds of pre-built nodes,
except the roots, will be merged into their siblings.
