Replace the mini pager with a lite pager (which does not run a count query)

Problem/Motivation

If you have a big site, like http://drupal.org you might have performance problems with pagers, because the count the amount of total items in your list using a sql query.

Proposed resolution

Contrib has a module which create a pager without the count query using the following technique:

• Query for one more item then needed.
• If you found one more item, you know that there is another page.
• Drop that extra item before rendering.
