Remarks
Get the Tag Identifier (if it has one).
The tag identifier is a low level serial number, used for anti-collision and identification.
Most tags have a stable unique identifier (UID), but some tags will generate a random ID every time they are discovered (RID), and there are some tags with no ID at all (the byte array will be zero-sized).
The size and format of an ID is specific to the RF technology used by the tag.
This function retrieves the ID as determined at discovery time, and does not perform any further RF communication or block.
