In 41790caf59ad ("REST: Limit max page size") we limited the maximum page
size to the default page size in the settings.

This turns out to be rather restrictive, as we usually want to keep the
default page size low, but an administrator may want to allow API clients
to fetch more than that per request.

Add a new setting, MAX_REST_RESULTS_PER_PAGE, to set the maximum page size.

Closes: #202 ("Separate max API page size and default API page size into different 
settings")

FWIW we now have this applied on patchwork.ozlabs.org and it appears to
be working. Would like some more input as to what an appropriate default
limit is.

My completely fact-free feeling/opinion is that if it takes more than
~1sec to run on Ozlabs, it's probably too high. Apart from that, I'm not
fussed.

OzLabs.org is not a fast machine. 1 second round trip time == 100 per page. 500 per page == ~2.3 seconds round trip.

A single 500 item load is still under half the time of doing 5 * 100 item loads...
