Commit status list orders only by `created_unix`/`updated_unix`, which
have 1-second resolution while CI often posts many statuses per second.
With LIMIT/OFFSET paging, databases (e.g. PostgreSQL using a Sort plan)
may order tied rows differently per page, so `GET
/repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{ref}/statuses` returns some statuses
twice and never returns others.
This became visible after https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/36521
made requests without `page` paginated. Clients like Renovate that page
until `X-Total-Count` can miss a context's newest status and see a stale
`pending`, blocking automerge.
Fix: add `index` (unique per commit) as a tiebreaker to the
timestamp-based orders.

`GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{index}/comments` ignores `page` and
`limit` and always returns every comment. The Gitea downloader pages it
and stops only on a short page, so migrating from Gitea or Forgejo loops
forever on any issue with at least `MAX_RESPONSE_ITEMS` comments,
without an error.
Paging is kept in case the endpoint gets paginated
(https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/6132,
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/18082). The loop now stops when
a page is longer than the limit or starts with an already seen comment.
Prior art: Forgejo fixed its copy in
https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/9274 (report:
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/1542).

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments, I ran into
this issue myself when I was trying to migrate repositories from Forgejo
-> Gitea.
