add optional 'start' param to '{@idx}'

[idoa01]

currently, if you want to use {$idx} as a 1-based index, you need to do something like this:

{@math key="{$idx}" method="add" operand="1" /}

with this pull request, the idx helper gets a new optional param start which will allow doing something like:

{@idx start="1"}{.}{/idx}

Interesting idea @idoa01 ! Seems handy to support this.

I think param name start might be unambiguous. To me it seems to mean "skip all indexes before start and output >=start index" rather than "add this value to index". Maybe I'm overthinking this though :)

@rragan @jimmyhchan @prashn64 do you have an opinion on this?

Would be simpler for base 1 vs 0 list number generation.

Perhaps "offset"? Would help with pagination as well.
