Generic method for the LegiScan getMasterList API call

Method to retrieve master list of bills introduced in the current legislative session. The response also provides a checksum for tracking changes to the text of bills, as well as bill_id and billnumber identifiers.

masterList(legiscan, state, id)

## S4 method for signature 'LegiScan,character,missing'
masterList(legiscan, state, id)

## S4 method for signature 'LegiScan,missing,missing'
masterList(legiscan, state, id)

`legiscan`	An object of class LegiScan
`state`	A two character US State abbreviation (validated against the state.abb dataset in R)
`id`	A LegiScan session_id value

The getMasterList API call has two distinct methods available. The method which LegiScan recommends, is to make master list requests using the state abbreviation. However, a second method is available which will select the data based on the session id number assigned by LegiScan.
