cf cli slow in large space due to page size of 50 when calling CF API

[stephanme]

Please fill out the issue checklist below and provide ALL the requested information.

• I reviewed open and closed github issues that may be related to my problem.
• I tried updating to the latest version of the CF CLI to see if it fixed my problem.
• I attempted to run the command with CF_TRACE=1 to help debug the issue.
• I am reporting a bug that others will be able to reproduce.

Describe the bug and the command you saw an issue with

cf a in a space that contains ~800 apps takes ~5min which is very slow.

What happened

cf a -v logged the following CF API requests in order to list the apps in a space:

GET /v3/apps?order_by=name&space_guids=<guid>
GET /v3/apps?order_by=%2Bname&page=2&per_page=50&space_guids=<guid>
GET /v3/apps?order_by=%2Bname&page=3&per_page=50&space_guids=<guid>
...

i.e. the apps of a space are read with a page size (per_page) of 50 which results in many roundtrips. per_page=50 is the default page size of the cloud controller: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cloud_controller_ng/blob/main/lib/cloud_controller/paging/pagination_options.rb

Expected behavior

Use a larger page size, e.g. per_page=5000 (the max possible) for list-resource requests to reduce the number of round trips.

Exact Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior; include the exact CLI commands and verbose output:

1. Run cf a -v
2. Observe missing per_page query parameter in the first GET /v3/apps?order_by=name&space_guids=<guid> request which results in per_page=50 (the default).
