* Merges the various options that Pagination uses.
* Pulls settings together from the following places:
*
* - General pagination settings
* - Model specific settings.
* - Request parameters
*
* The result of this method is the aggregate of all the option sets combined together. You can change
* PaginatorComponent::$whitelist to modify which options/values can be set using request parameters.
*
* THIS HAS BEEN MODIFIED: if `$default['parentModel']` is set, limit is NOT set to the querystring (if aplicable)

* @param string $alias Model alias being paginated, if the general settings has a key with this value
* that key's settings will be used for pagination instead of the general ones.
* @return array Array of merged options.
