[O] Bug: ox-odt.el should support text:start-value [9.1.14 (9.1.14-7-g01c419-elpaplus @ …/org-plus-contrib-20181015/)]

[Mark A. Hershberger]

I saw that exporting plain lists with specified starting numbers
(address@hidden') wasn't working—the lists just start over.

I was a bit frustrated with this, so I went looking at the code and the
ODF schema.  I found that ODF supports the text:start-value attribute[1]
that could be used where needed.

I came up with the following hack:
