Get League Schedule for the entire Season

[Btibert3]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It appears that there are various ways to slice out schedules; for a given day, for a team, a week, but not the entire season across the league. At first blush I expected this using the .get_season_schedule method but that requires a team id.

Describe the solution you'd like
An approach similar to .get_season_schedule but for the entire league. My use case would be to grab the gameids for a season in order to grab the results and PBP datasets for historical analysis and modeling. As such, my need isn't the full object, but simply a list of gameids, but admittedly that might be too narrow. My framing is an endpoint that I previously used from here: http://www.nicetimeonice.com/api, which would yield an array of gameids.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could walk or daily schedules.

This is one of those endpoints where there just isn't a clean implementation from the NHL. They build all these separate endpoints to facilitate their web site and from an API standpoint they are confusing and kinda suck. I think there are two solutions here.

1. I use to have a section called helpers where I would put methods like this in there. Ones that did lots of aggregation or called another endpoint many times. Might be beneficial to have something like client.helpers.get_gameids_by_season(year) or such.

2. The only way to do this now is to get all team abbreviations from client.teams.team_info() and loop get_season_schedule(team). This is essentially what I would do in option 1.

This connected PR should add this. It's basically just the following which returns 2835 games ids. Filtered to just regular season is 2624.

    def get_gameids_by_season(self, season: str, game_types: List[int] = None) -> List[str]:
        """
        Get all gameids for a given season.
        :param season: The season you want the gameids for.  Format is YYYYYYYY.  20202021, 200232024, etc
        :param game_types: List of game types you want to include.  2 is regular season, 3 is playoffs, 1 is preseason
        """
        from nhlpy.api.teams import Teams
        from nhlpy.api.schedule import Schedule

        teams = Teams(self.client).teams_info()

        gameids = []
        for team in teams:
            schedule = Schedule(self.client).get_season_schedule(team["abbr"], season)
            for game in schedule["games"]:
                if not game_types or game["gameType"] in game_types:
                    gameids.append(game["id"])

        return gameids
