Group migration: User-selectable page size
Problem to solve
When using the GitLab Group Migration feature, and then selecting from a very long list of groups to import, it is impossible to see more than 20 items at the same time.
Further background
On this page, we expect to show anywhere from a few to a few hundred groups available for import. For large sets, we expect the users to use the filtering capability to narrow it down, but this will not always be possible. Sometimes, the users will not know exactly the name of the group(s) they want to import (or these groups may not have a common filter criterion). In that case, we expect the user to browse through all the available groups to select the ones they need.
For example, a user may have 200 groups to select from, and with our standard pagination, they will have to go through 10 pages with 20 rows to find the groups they are looking for. We need a way to compensate for this drawback of the current pagination.
Proposal
Implement the ability to allow the user to select the page size. The default should remain 20 items, as prescribed in the guidelines. The user should be able to change that to either 50 or 100 items. The maximum of 100 is enforced by our API.
The selected choice should be visible (e.g. bold). The choice should be remembered (persisted) for the user.
