[features] Better support for pagination and search query params in $location

[facultymatt]

This library https://github.com/brettshollenberger/the-abstractions-are-leaking/wiki/Pagination has a great feature where page and other query params are kept in sync with $location.

For example, in the following example:

$scope.posts = Post.$fetch({page: 1});

The $location service would be used to auto append the url with

?page=1

If you also queried Post.$fetch({page: 1, owner: 99}) then the query string would update to

?page=1&owner=99

What are your thoughts on this feature?

I'll give it a thought, the Pagination mixin definitely needs a little attention!

I have a great working mixin for this! I will post today...

First pass, still needs optimization, especially around mixing into multiple models and conflicts that might occur.

Some comments:

• Making totalCount a variable of the mixin function closure scope will mean that every collection of the same type will share the same totalCount, maybe it should be stored in a collection property?
• I think its important to support changing the names of the properties (page, limit, totalCount).
• What do you think on supporting paging information in headers? we use that a lot here in Platanus.
• About the queryString plugin, it would be cool to have the collection attach/detach from the query string using a method, since in most cases I only want a collection to be affected by the query string only in some app states. (bindToRoute() maybe?).

I'm currently on vacations, it may take a little longer for me to answer your posts.

Any progress?
