patch 8.2.1066: Lua arrays are zero based

Problem:    Lua arrays are zero based.
Solution:   Make Lua arrays one based. (Prabir Shrestha, closes #6347)
            Note: this is not backwards compatible.

 Properties
 ----------
 	o "#l" is the number of items in list "l", equivalent to "len(l)"
 	    in Vim.
-	o "l[k]" returns the k-th item in "l"; "l" is zero-indexed, as in Vim.
+	o "l[k]" returns the k-th item in "l"; "l" is one-indexed, as in Lua.
 	    To modify the k-th item, simply do "l[k] = newitem"; in
 	    particular, "l[k] = nil" removes the k-th item from "l".
 	o "l()" returns an iterator for "l".
