Description

Prior to latest release( 0.17.5) Model.all().limit(None) works as it should, but now it fails with

queryset.py 422 limit
if limit < 0:

TypeError:
'<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'

Besides, as stated in docs it should Raises ParamsError – Limit should be non-negative number.

I think it should be non-negative number or None.
Because it's convenient to have an optional limit on your queries. And it's very annoying to write some weird dances like:

query = Model.all()
if limit:
   query.limit(limit)

Research direction

Start in queryset.py around line 422, where limit is compared with zero, and review the documented ParamsError behavior. Confirm that Model.all().limit(None) no longer raises the TypeError while negative limits still follow the stated validation, then verify the relevant behavior with test coverage.
