RestJava improve request limit handling

[xin-hedera]

Description

The request limit parameter in js rest module is

• with configurable default and max
• a soft constraint, i.e., the max value is used to cap the limit, instead of used as a validation constraint

We need to do the same in rest-java

Steps to reproduce

I considered this, but not sure I'm convinced it needs to be a soft limit. Especially for new APIs. The reason why we made it soft before was that we lowered it from 1000 to 25 and we didn't want to break customers. You could argue it's better that customers are aware what the bounds are so they don't receive unexpected number of items in the response than desired.

Sure. Overall I think we are going to change the course to fail the client early, close the ticket now.
