Respect maximum_page_limit in batch list endpoints

[Eason09053360]

Why

[api] maximum_page_limit is documented as capping any limit a client asks for, but was only enforced inside LimitFilter.depends, on the query-parameter path. The two batch endpoints (POST /dags/~/dagRuns/list, POST /dags/~/dagRuns/~/taskInstances/list) read their page size from a request body, so FastAPI never invokes that dependency — an authenticated client could ask them for the whole table while the equivalent GET endpoints capped the same request. The cap arrived in #60989, which missed these two call sites.

What

• The clamp moves into a new LimitFilter.clamp_to_maximum in common/parameters/base.py; depends delegates to it, so both entry points share one definition.
• Both batch routes build their LimitFilter through it.
• A test per endpoint asserts a clamped page while total_entries reports the larger unclamped count; both fail without the fix.

These pull requests stay open because maintainers are already engaged in them - they count towards your limit:

• Fix scheduler refusing to start when [scheduler] only_idle is enabled #73141 - Fix scheduler refusing to start when [scheduler] only_idle is enabled
• Batch Team lookups when syncing Dag bundles to the database #73154 - Batch Team lookups when syncing Dag bundles to the database

This is not a judgement of you or of your changes. We never told contributors before that opening many pull requests at once was a problem, so there is nothing to feel bad about - and nothing is lost: your branches, commits and the review history stay where they are.

What we ask you to do is to make your first prioritization decision: choose which of the pull requests above matter most to you, and reopen them (up to 5 open at a time, including the ones still open) with the "Reopen pull request" button or gh pr reopen <PR_NUMBER> --repo apache/airflow. Reopen the ones you are ready to follow through - keep them rebased, respond to review comments and fix failing checks.

While your pull requests are waiting for review, the most valuable thing you can do is help in other ways - reviewing other contributors' pull requests, helping with issues, and taking part in the discussions on the devlist and Slack.

Why we introduced the limit, what it means for you and how to reopen or restore a pull request is explained in https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/32_open_pull_request_limit.rst.
