Only get reactions for up to 10 users per type

[jack89roberts]

Via James G: I think that Wimbledon reports at most 10 “thumbs down”, even when more than 10 people have thumbs-downed the project. Note that this is the same as the maximum number for which GitHub shows the name (after that, it just reports “and 3 more.“). See, eg, https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/Hut23/issues/979 and https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/Hut23/issues/845

The query is currently requesting up to 32 reactions per type, so this is a GitHub API issue/an issue with the way we're using the GitHub API. Incidentally I spotted that "users" in the API query is now deprecated and should be replaced with "reactors": https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/reference/objects#reactiongroup (users will be removed Oct 2021).

I've made a post about this in the community forum:

https://github.community/t/pagination-not-working-on-reactiongroups-reactors/192255

As far as I can tell pagination isn't working for these queries in the GraphQL API.
