#' Paginate ArcGIS Requests
#'
#' Many API endpoints provide common [pagination properties](https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/users-groups-and-items/common-parameters/#paging-properties). `arc_paginate_request()` automatically applies pagination to an input request.
#'
#' @returns a list of `httr2_response`.
#'
#' @param req an `httr2_request` ideally created with `arc_base_req`
#' @param page_size a scalar integer between 1 and 100 indicating the number of responses per page.
#' @param max_pages the maximum number of pages to fetch. By default fetches all pages.
#' @param .progress default `TRUE`. Whether to display a progress bar for requests.
