Overview: Pager module

[eliot-akira]

The new Pager module will be an upgrade from the current implementation, "Paginator v1". The latter has limitations due to its design, such as only supporting post loops and somewhat fixed structure of frontend interface.

See discussion #58 for initial brainstorming of flexible pagination features.
