Add --dry-run flag to merge command in shell #6414

Description

@ctubbsii

The merge command in the shell is a bit difficult to understand what it's going to do, especially when using options like -s to specify selecting only tablets of specific sizes.

It would be good to have a dry-run option that does all the analysis to determine which tablets would be merged and outputs the information about what would have been done, but without actually triggering the merge to take place.

The verbose output could also be worded better to more easily understand which contiguous tablet ranges were selected based on the size flag. This would benefit the dry-run option as well as the regular execution.
