• Add formal deprecation for is_ajax=1 on pagination_nav.html Some third-party packages still use it, e.g. https://github.com/Naeka/wagtailmodelchooser/blob/7a74a1d31710595616de34d766152afbaa375a61/wagtailmodelchooser/templates/wagtailmodelchooser/chooser/model_results.html

• Split ajax pagination nav into its own include

• Ensure deconstruct is consistent Regardless of whether it was created with `page_type` or `target_model`. Similarly to the `__init__` method, we cannot completely deprecate `target_model` so the `deconstruct` method has to handle both parameters.
