Description

When retrieving setups using openml.setups.list_setups(setup=setup_ids) the url becomes too long very fast. It would be nice to be able to request more setups without having to loop over the id's yourself.

Research direction

Start at openml.setups.list_setups(setup=setup_ids) and trace how setup IDs are turned into the request URL. Check the API request behavior and existing tests, then verify that requesting many setup IDs no longer requires callers to loop over them and avoids an overly long URL.
