Fixed recommendation order (#18060)

fixes https://github.com/TryGhost/Product/issues/3851

- Order was not applied via the CRUD plugin
- Removed usage of CRUD findAll, and swapped to Bookshelf fetchAll
instead, to decrease dependencies of invisible Bookshelf plugins logic
- Reverted page and limit options possibility via findAll method
