split: support optional start value for --numeric-suffixes
Allow changing the --numeric-suffixes start number from the default of 0. * src/split.c (next_file_name): Initialize the suffix index and the output filename according to start value. (main): Check that the suffix length is large enough for the numerical suffix start value. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention it. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/split/numeric: New file. Test --numeric-suffixes[=FROM]. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reference the new test.
