 `wp_get_archives` already comes with 2 filters allowing one to customize
 some of the aspects of the queries to fetch archives on a site:

 - `getarchives_where` allows you to customize the WHERE clause
 - `getarchives_join` allows you to customize the JOIN clause

 I think it would be useful to add a new filter, to allow customizing the
 `LIMIT` clause as well. In some environments, with sites with lots of
 posts with longform content, some of those queries can be really resource-
 intensive.

 Until we have proper pagination for `wp_get_archives` (see #30994), I
 think it would make sense to allow admins to customize the LIMIT clause in
 some scenarios.
