pynlpl clients.frogclient.FrogClient assumes no FoLiA output

Title says it all, the FrogClient assumes the Frog server responds with a column format. When the server is running with -X, the output from FrogClient.process is [].

Indeed, the FrogClient is fairly old and simple and uses the column output. If you want better integration and FoLiA support, you might want to take a look at https://github.com/proycon/python-frog instead.

I know there is python-frog, but I'm using Visual Studio with Python on Windows... I have LaMachine installed in the WSL and while imperfect, it's a working solution to just run a Frog server in there. I'll see if I can use FoLiA to reshape the column output where needed.

Also, the constructor doesn't do anything with the ner parameter, and the process method doesn't fill in the parse1 and parse2 variables when returnall == True.

Okay, I see where you're coming from yeah. Adding FoLiA support may indeed be an interesting solution then, it should be fairly easy (at some overhead performance cost) so I'll take a look.

Hmm, indeed, well spotted.. looks like that was never properly finished and it seems nobody fell over it until now. I'll fix it
