=per #18497 Handle large deleteMessages ranges in leveldb journal

* creating a large scala range is very inefficient and also impossible
  above Int.MaxValue, which can happen if deleteMessages(Long.MaxValue)
  is used
* solved by capping the upper seq nr by the highest know seq nr
* similar issue in inmem journal
