Set an option without triggering the paged event

Usage:
.jqPagination('option', {key: value[, key: value][, trigger: true|false ]})

Legacy operation is maintained but now you can set multiple properties with one call and specify if you want the paged trigger to fire

the following sets the max pages to 10 and the current page to 5 whilst not triggering paged 
.jqPagination('option', {
    max_page: 10,
    current_page: 5,
    trigger: false
});
