Description

Currently you need to loop over all pages to get the latest child.

To save multiple calls, would it be possible to adopt something similar to sat number, using at/-1 to get latest...

/r/children/<INSCRIPTION_ID>/inscriptions/at/-1

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a new API endpoint `/r/children/<INSCRIPTION ID>/inscriptions/at/ 1` that returns the latest child inscription by using a negative offset to signify the last element, similar to sat number convention.
