[TYPO3-mvc] Working with limit and offsets, missing exception?

Without changing the api, I think it would be better to point the user
to his mistake using offset without limit by an exception, rather than
ignoring it.

But from using the api, I think, it would be much better to deprecate
setOffset and having an second optional parameter in setLimit for
setting the offset.
