In nzilbb.labbcat: Accessing Data Stored in 'LaBB-CAT' Instances

#' Gets the annotations on the given layer of the given transcript
#'
#' Returns the annotations on the given layer of the given transcript.
#' 
#' @param labbcat.url URL to the LaBB-CAT instance
#' @param id A transcript ID (i.e. transcript name)
#' @param layer.id A layer ID
#' @param max.ordinal The maximum ordinal for the returned annotations. e.g. a max.ordinal
#' of 1 will ensure that only the first annotation for each parent is returned. If
#' max.ordinal is null, then all annotations are returned, regardless of their ordinal.
#' @param page.length The maximum number of annotations to return, or null to return all
#' @param page.number The zero-based page number to return, or null to return the first page
#' @return A named list of annotations, with members:
#'  - *id* The annotation's unique ID
#'  - *layerId* The name of the layer it comes from
#'  - *label* The value of the annotation
#'  - *startId* The ID of the start anchor,
#'  - *endId* The ID of the end anchor,
#'  - *parentId* The ID of the parent annotation,
#'  - *ordinal* The ordinal of the annotation among its peers,
#'  - *confidence* A rating from 0-100 of the confidence of the label
#'  e.g. 10: default value, 50: automatically generated, 100: manually annotated
