Description

Currently limit internally is supported as `int`, but Gremlin supports limit as `long`.
For consistency between Gremlin and JanusGraph as well as eliminating issues like #3341 it would be better to have `limit` as `long` in JanusGraph instead of `int`.

The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating internal handling of the limit value and its usages, then trace the affected query paths and existing tests. Done means JanusGraph consistently represents limit as a long and the relevant behavior remains covered.
