Make api pagination optional

Description
by default foreman paginate API by entries_per_page setting, while having in API documentation "GET /api/compute_resources/:compute_resource_id/images " page
optional
paginate results
Validations:
Must be String
Made me think pagination is really optional.
IMO if result is to big for compute to be processed a program/user can request it paginated by specifying per_page/page. Otherwise API should return ALL results
- Tracker changed from Feature to Support
- Subject changed from make api pagination optional to Make api pagination optional
I would say we already do this to some degree:
If the result is bigger than 20 - our default per_page (can be changed on Administer > Settings in Foreman), the output is served paginated.
If you feel that the default is too small (I don't think it is, for some pages, especially Katello related objects which have to query external APIs), you can either change it, or request per_page = 9999999999.
I'm changing the type of the issue to "Support" for the time being, as I'm not quite sure what would you like us to implement here :) Disabling the pagination is unlikely to be implemented at this point, for API v3 I would rather move to GraphQL which should allow anyone to do this.
