Log message:
Tweak btree page split logic so that when splitting a page that is
rightmost on its tree level, we split 2/3 to the left and 1/3 to the
new right page, rather than the even split we use elsewhere. The idea
is that when faced with a steadily increasing series of inserted keys
(such as sequence or timestamp values), we'll end up with a btree that's
about 2/3ds full not 1/2 full, which is much closer to the desired
steady-state load for a btree. Per suggestion from Ann Harrison of
IBPhoenix.
