feat(backend): support cursor pagination in getUserList - #10200
GET /v1/users already supports cursor pagination with starting_after, but the backend SDK's getUserList() parameters do not expose it. As a result, startingAfter is missing from the generated UserListParams reference. This PR adds the optional parameter, its JSDoc description, and a request test for the cursor mapping. Callers can pass the last user ID from one page as startingAfter to fetch the next page; the SDK sends it to /users as starting_after.
getUserList() makes a separate /users/count request to populate totalCount. The cursor is excluded from that request because it determines where the list starts, not which users are counted. Existing offset pagination remains available.
This addresses the SDK parameter and generated reference gap in DOCS-12255. The customer-facing full-list example is in clerk/clerk#3590. Guidance for the separate user search endpoint is omitted there until its public API contract is confirmed.
Merge order
Merge this PR and release @clerk/backend with startingAfter.
Let the release-triggered Typedoc sync update the generated UserListParams reference in clerk/clerk.
Verify clerk/clerk#3590 against the released SDK, then merge that docs PR. It is labeled do not merge until then. Review can happen in parallel.

Walkthrough
UserListParams now accepts an optional startingAfter cursor. getUserList excludes this cursor from the parameters sent to getCount and continues to pass the original parameters to the users-list request. A test checks the request parameters and returned user ID and total count. A changeset announces cursor-based pagination support.
The SDK adds cursor pagination while keeping the cursor out of the count request. No merge-blocking issue is identified.

- Around line 41-42: Update the JSDoc for `startingAfter` in `UserApi` to state
that it is valid only with `created_at` ordering and offset zero. Ensure both
user-list reference pages document `startingAfter`, updating their documentation
source instead if the pages are generated.
