Incompatible with lineno package #48

When I try to load both accessibility and lineno I get this error:

`! LaTeX Error: Command \c@linenumber already defined. Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H for immediate help. ...

l.671 \newcounter{linenumber} % Your command was ignored. Type I to replace it with another command, or to continue without it.`

The error varies depending on which package I load first.

I'm hitting this too. It seems like it can be solved by changing the variable name "linecounter" to something non-conflicting at https://github.com/AndyClifton/accessibility/blob/046a20886e2879e4125f7d49e3e7cc8d5dbaae9e/source/v2x/accessibility.dtx#L1160 Are you open to a pull request?

Please note the following news entry:

23 Feb 2021: The question of accessibility in PDFs has now been taken up by the LaTeX project in a multiyear project and as a result I am stopping all work on this package and it should be considered "not maintained". See https://www.latex-project.org/publications/indexbytopic/pdf/ for news about progress by the LaTeX project.

Are you open to a pull request?

Hi - yes, @kevinwortman, a pull request would be welcome, at least to record the potential solution.
