Don't Allocate Redundant Pages in BigArrays (#60201) (#60441)
The oversize algorithm was allocating more pages than necessary to accommodate `minTargetSize`.
An example would be that a 16k page size and 15k `minTargetSize` would result in a new size of 32k (2 pages).
The difference between the minimum number of necessary pages and the estimated size then keeps growing as sizes increase.

I don't think there is much value in preemptively allocating pages by over-sizing aggressively since the behavior of
the system is quite different from that of a single array where over-sizing avoids copying
once the minimum target size is more than a single page.

Relates #60173 which lead me to this when `BytesStreamOutput` would allocate a large number of never used
pages during serialization of repository metadata.
