Paginator designed for cases when it's not important to know how many total pages.
This is useful for any object_list that has no count() method or can be used to
improve performance for MySQL by removing counts.

The orphans parameter has been removed for simplicity and there's a link template string
for creating the links to the next and previous pages.

+ Paginator for cases when the list of items is already finite.

+ A good example is a list generated from an API call. This is a subclass

+ full collection.
+
+ To accurately determine if the next page exists, a FinitePaginator MUST be created
+ with an object_list_plus that may contain more items than the per_page count.
+ Typically, you'll have an object_list_plus with one extra item (if there's a next page).
+ You'll also need to supply the offset from the full collection in order to get the
+ page start_index.
+
+ This is a very silly class but useful if you love the Django pagination conventions.
