Document server-side pagination limit in README (#166)

The maximum effective page size for paginated tools is determined by the Gitea server's [`[api].MAX_RESPONSE_ITEMS`](ffa626b585/custom/conf/app.example.ini (L2471-L2472)) setting (default: 50). Requesting a `perPage` value higher than this limit will be silently capped by the server.
