Add the ability to create annotations for the Grafana dashboard programmatically #22

It would be very useful to enable users to load annotations into the dashboard programmatically, for example to annotate times when the spacecraft went into or out of sunlight. See https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/build-dashboards/annotate-visualizations/

To implement this we probably went to use the HTTP API.

A way to query or output the annotations would also be helpful.

This sounds like it would be useful, how are you picturing it to be used? Would this be implemented within the pipeline or after data has already been ingested and taken a look at by the instrument team or others.
