Bug was tested and reproduces both in the "develop" branch and in WT 11.1.0.

To reproduce the bug run the huge test as standalone (test_huge binary).

The test will reach 1GB value size, and then will be stuck waiting to evict a page, until it receives a timeout and aborts. This happens even though the cache size is much larger (10GB).

I have a suggested fix in a PR, where I also explain what I think the core issue is (I will link it to this issue after uploading it)
