Change array_offset to return subscripts, not offsets
... and rename it and its sibling array_offsets to array_position and
array_positions, to account for the changed behavior.
Having the functions return subscripts better matches existing practice,
and is better suited to using the result value as a subscript into the
array directly. For one-based arrays, the new definition is identical
to what was originally committed.
(We use the term "subscript" in the documentation, which is what we use
whenever we talk about arrays; but the functions themselves are named
using the word "position" to match the standard-defined POSITION()
functions.)
