[openstack-dev] [UX] [Keystone] [Horizon] Pagination support for Identity dashboard entities

I think we've conveniently been led off track here. The original
request/subject was regarding pagination of projects in the v3 API. Since
this is purely a keystone construct it seems implausible to me that ldap or
the IdP of choice would be limiting the ability to return a paginated list
of all projects. Or groups or domains or roles for that matter.

There is no reason to punt on pagination across the API for one resource
type, which actually would also work with select backends. Give me
something that I can exhaustively list in the API I can build from.
