What does this PR change?

Replaces the misleading blanket note stating that population and pagination operators cannot be combined with a precise clarification of what is and isn't supported.

Before: The note implied that populate and pagination are mutually exclusive, which is incorrect -- top-level pagination works alongside populate.

After: The note clarifies that top-level pagination works with populate, but pagination parameters cannot be applied within populated relations (nested pagination).

Closes #1585

How to verify

  1. Review the updated note for accuracy
  2. Confirm with a REST API call: GET /api/articles?populate=*&pagination[page]=1&pagination[pageSize]=10 returns paginated results with populated relations
