notes

• identifier is one of: first memento, prev memento, next memento, memento, or last memento.
• finds nearest available memento for url to opts.time
• opts.time can be any reasonable approximation of a datetime and it should Just Work(tm)
• filters out non-mementos from response (timegate and original url)
• first and last entries in response will always be the first and last mementos available.
