Description
See ENSCORESW-2915
There are 3 main available Transcript tags (TSL, GENCODE Basic and APPRIS) https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/genebuild/transcript_quality_tags.html On a Transcript object, the first 2 can be fetched with the tsl() and gencode_basic() methods, but there is no equivalent method to retrieve the appris tags.
This adds the missing appris() to Transcript. It returns the tag string (if available) or undef. This is the same behaviour as in tsl().
Use case

Benefits
Easy access to appris tags.
Possible Drawbacks
none I can see
