Make the number of communities on the home page configurable #1749

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In DSpace 7, there are only 5 top-level communities listed on the home page, https://demo7.dspace.org/home. When the user clicks on the next page they see the next 5 communities. This is too slow.
 DSpace7_home_communities

In DSpace 6 XMLUI, all the top-level communities are listed on the home page, https://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/, which helps the user immediately find the right one. Administrators, too, want to see the entire list without multiple clicks.
DSpace6_XMLUI_home_communities

Describe the solution you'd like
One solution would be to make the number of communities per page configurable with a number, or perhaps, an option, "all." Since the time to load the home page in DSpace 6 XMLUI is acceptable, I don't think a large number or "all" would be a problem and would certainly be less time than waiting for multiple pages.
