Parse the page size only for paginated responses.

If a client requests ?format=csv&items_per_page=abc, int() raises ValueError before the export branch runs. The export branch does not use items_per_page, so this change makes an otherwise valid export fail. Move the parsing and cap into the if not opt_format branch.

As per coding guidelines, “Minimize scope — smallest correct diff; no drive-by refactors.”

Review comment at @application/web/web_main.py at line 261:
Move the items_per_page parsing and cap into the if not opt_format branch so CSV
and other export responses do not parse or validate an unused page size; keep
pagination behavior unchanged.
