Defines functions tw_get_all_with_p

Documented in tw_get_all_with_p

#' Get all items that have a given property (irrespective of the value)
#'
#' This function does not cache results.
#'
#' @param p A character vector, a property. Must always start with the capital letter "P", e.g. "P31" for "instance of".
#' @param wait Defaults to 0.1. Used only in method is set to "JSON".
#' @param method Defaults to "SPARQL". The only accepted alternative value is "JSON", to use instead json-based API.
#' @param limit Defaults to `Inf`. Set to smaller values for testing and cache locally when possible to reduce load on servers.
#' @inheritParams tw_query
#'
#' @return A data frame with three columns is method is set to "SPARQL", or as many columns as fields if more are given and `return_as_tw_search` is set to FALSE. A single column with Wikidata identifier if method is set to "JSON".
#' @export
