Paginate any Sentry API list endpoint correctly using the Link header cursor mechanism

Documented steps
Make the initial GET to the list endpoint. Sentry returns a Link header with BOTH rel="previous" and rel="next" entries, each carrying results="true|false" and a cursor — docs: https://docs.sentry.io/api/pagination/
Example header: <https://sentry.io/api/0/...&cursor=0:100:0>; rel="next"; results="true"; cursor="0:100:0"
Check the rel="next" entry: if results="true", request its URL verbatim (the cursor is embedded).
Loop until the rel="next" entry shows results="false" — that is the last page.
Keep all original query params (query, statsPeriod, full, environment) when following pagination URLs — using the Link URL as-is does this for you.
Known gotchas
Cursor format is identifier:offset:is_prev but it is OPAQUE — never construct or increment cursors manually.
Cursors are always returned for both prev and next even when those pages are empty — check results=, not cursor presence.
Deep offset pagination gets slow on huge result sets; narrow with query/statsPeriod instead of paging thousands of rows.
