Add pagy for following route

[Tlazypanda]

Please describe the desired behavior.
Pagy is a pagination gem used for its peak performance over other pagination tools. As mentioned #8426 we have been trying to migrate our codebase from will_paginate to pagy gem and would love your help with it! 🎉

Here is how you may implement pagy for this: -

• Select action following under users_controller

• Since here pagination is already implemented using will_paginate as .paginate(page: params[:page], per_page: 10) you can remove this line so that the method now looks like

  @users = @user.following_users

• Now add the pagy method in this action as -
  @pagy, @users = pagy(@user.following_users, items: 10)

Here 10 represents the items to be displayed on each page. This is the most basic way we can use pagy over any action: -
@pagy, @records = pagy(Product.some_scope)

• Now move to the html code which is generated for this controller users/show_follow.html
• Search for the will_paginate line and replace it with -

<% if @pagy %> <%= raw pagy_bootstrap_nav @pagy %> <% else %> <%= will_paginate @users, renderer: WillPaginate::ActionView::BootstrapLinkRenderer %> <% end %>

• This will now check if @pagy variable is available or not and then if present will generate pagination using pagy.
• Awesome, create a pull request for the same and add screenshots if relevant!
