No pagination links or total meta in included resource collection #1738
Description
DESCRIPTION
It appears it's not possible to get pagination links or total meta in included resource collection. Perhaps it's more of missing feature than bug...
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Running the example JsonApiDotNetCoreExample and making request http://localhost:14140/api/people?fields[people]=assignedTodoItems&include=assignedTodoItems&page[size]=2,assignedTodoItems:2 returns payload:

}
}EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
I'd expect pagination links and total meta for any included collection data.
ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
Pagination links and total meta appears not to be available for included collection data.
