Description

If you have a 3.x index, and you open it with a 4.x IndexWriter for
the first time, and you do something that kicks of merges while
concurrently committing, it's possible the index will corrupt itself
with exceptions like this:

java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /l/tmp/reruns.TestBackwardsCompatibility3x.testMergeDuringUpgrade.t2/lucene.index.TestBackwardsCompatibility3x-71F31CCCEF6853A-001/manysegments.362-006/_0.si

Back compat tests in Elasticsearch hit this, and at first I thought maybe LUCENE-6279 was the cause (I still think we should fix that) but after further debugging there is a different concurrency bug lurking here.

I have a test case which after substantial beasting is able to reproduce the bug, but I don't yet have a fix. I think IW is missing a checkpoint after writing a new commit...
