Description
I found myself needing to implement that function and thought that the usecase is popular enough to warrant [a PR](https://github.com/gleam-lang/stdlib/pull/886/files) stdlib.
This is a variation of range with the user-provided step.
The general use would be:
```
/// ```gleam
/// range_with_step(1, 5, 2)
/// // -> [1, 3, 5]
/// ```
///
/// ```gleam
/// range_with_step(1, 6, 2)
/// // -> [1, 3, 5]
/// ```
///
/// ```gleam
/// range_with_step(6, -1, -3)
/// // -> [6, 3, 0]
/// ```
///
/// ```gleam
/// range_with_step(6, -3, -3)
/// // -> [6, 3, 0, -3]
/// ```
```
Discussion (if the idea is not rejected):
- what should happen when given step is 0?
- what should happen when from and to are equal?
- which of the 2 above takes precedence?
- what should happen when (fromto and step>0)?
- a propos the one above should the function return `List(Int)` or `Result`?
