Philip Okugbe 78b1c1a453 feat: switch to cursor pagination (#1884)
* add cursor pagination function

* support custom order modifier
* refactor returned object

* feat(db): migrate paginated endpoints to cursor-based pagination

* sync

* support hasPrevPage boolean

* feat(client): migrate pagination from offset to cursor-based

* support beforeCursor/prevCursor

* wrap search results in items array for API consistency
