What steps will reproduce the bug?

Create graphql schema with:
type User {
login: String!
}

Insert more than 1000 records (like 30000)
Execute graphql queries:

 Users1: queryUser(first:30000,order: { asc: login }) {
      login
  }
  Users2: queryUser(first:30000) {
      login
  }

Execute DQL queries:

query {
Users3(func:type(User),  first:30000) {
  login: User.login
}
Users4(func:type(User),orderasc:User.login, first:30000) {
  login: User.login
}
}  ```

### Expected behavior and actual result.

As mentioned at https://dgraph.io/docs/query-language/sorting/ "Sorted queries retrieve up to 1000 results by default. This can be changed with first." This works for DQL queries, but not for graphql queries - Users1 returns only 1000 records instead of expected 3000 records without a warning.
The 1000 items limit is not even mentioned for GraphQL API (as it should be): https://dgraph.io/docs/graphql/queries/order-page/
