Post history only shows 20 edits, with incorrect numbering
In the Post History page for a post that has more than 20 edits, only the most recent 20 are shown, and they are numbered 1 to 20. The most recent edit is numbered 20. If another edit is made, the previously most recent edit will be renumbered to 19 and the new most recent edit will now show as 20. The edit previously numbered 1 is now omitted from the display, with the edit previously numbered 2 now showing as 1. With each new edit, the oldest displayed edit drops off the end of the list so there are never more than 20.

See [an example of a post with more than 20 edits](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/287238/history), which only shows the most recent 20, numbered 1 to 20.

I'm guessing the solution will be pagination, as seen in other parts of the Codidact user interface. The extra complication for this particular list will be calculating the correct numbering to show (which is not required for the other paginated lists).
