Summary:

Currently, if you are using num_chains with initialization files for each chain, only the first is actually used. This was found by investigating a (similar, but unique) bug in cmdstanpy: stan-dev/cmdstanpy#687

The bug ultimately comes down to one character, files_1 vs files_i, and has existed since the original implementation in #987

Intended Effect:

Allow multiple chains to use separate init files

How to Verify:

New test added

Side Effects:

This also unifies the behavior of init files with the outputs etc, such that the chain ID is used rather than hardcoding numbers started at 1.
