Previously the section was very strict in what pagination was, however this isn't the reality for the matrix specification. Several endpoints have their own pagination naming conventions and do not follow those mandated by this section.
This commit generalizes the language to cover those endpoints while also describing how pagination works. In particular, it describes the rough API shape to expect and how to deal with the responses.
This commit also removes the `M_BAD_PAGINATION` error as it is not used in the real world. Homeservers are instead encouraged to use the standard `M_INVALID_PARAM` or similar error code.

This is done by using magic variables in the RST. The magic variables are generated based on the substitutions available, making them available for use at build-time.
Magic variables were chosen because it allows people to continue working on the spec and release process without having to worry about removing a chunk of text from the top of the file. Originally, this was attempted by using jinja2 if-statements, however the substitutions are replaced *after* the template is executed, so the condition would never match.
The format of the variable is to make the templating happy. Using colons or percent signs results in the templator thinking something else is going on, and then complaining about format.
* Specify token used in /login is not an Access Token
While working through the implementation of /login in Dendrite, it was
confusing what the contents of the token attribute in the login request
body referred to. Initially, I thought it was an access token, which led
to further confusion. This commit explicitly states that the token is a
login token, which is separate from an access token, hopefully reducing
confusion for future readers.
