docs(db-mongodb): document Local API default limit & unlimited usage (closes #13417)

[chenxi-debugger]

Closes #13417

What?

• Add a “Pagination & limits” note to the Local API docs.
• Clarify that when no limit is provided, the per-page default comes from the Collection’s pagination.defaultLimit (defaults to 10).
• Show two ways to return all matched documents: limit: 0 (disables pagination) or pagination: false.
• Add links to the Pagination and Collection Config docs.

Why?

• Readers of the Local API page couldn’t easily discover the default limit or how to request an unlimited/all-docs query.

How?

• Edited docs/local-api/overview.mdx only.
• Inserted the new “Pagination & limits” section immediately after the Find example.
• Docs-only change; no runtime code touched.

Thanks @chenxi-debugger. I tried to add a commit to your PR but didn’t have permissions, so I opened a new one. I’ll close this in favor of that. I made sure the PR contains your commit, so you should appear as a contributor in the next release.

Some notes:

• The pagination option in the collection config doesn’t change the default limit in Local or REST API, only in the List View of the admin panel (that’s why it’s inside admin).
• Instead of repeating information in two places in the docs, I just added an internal link.

Thanks for your contribution!

Thanks a lot for the clarification and for including my commit in the new PR—I really appreciate it! Your points about the `pagination` config being admin-specific and avoiding duplication in the docs make perfect sense. Thanks for cleaning that up and handling the final polish! Glad to be part of the release! 🎉
