Description

Once we've switch cqlsh to use the python driver 2.x (CASSANDRA-7506), we should also make it use paging. Currently cqlsh adds an implicit limit which is kind of ugly. Instead we should use some reasonably small page size (100 is probably fine) and display one page at a time, adding some "NEXT" command to query/display following pages.
