 Returns a list of the albums found in the Photos library.  
 
 **Note**: In Photos 5.0 (MacOS 10.15/Catalina), It is possible to have more than one album with the same name in Photos.  Albums with duplicate names are treated as a single album and the photos in each are combined.  For example, if you have two albums named "Wedding" and each has 2 photos, osxphotos will treat this as a single album named "Wedding" with 4 photos in it.
