Description
Please explain your intent
Provide a better UX for pdfly cat.
Describe the solution you'd like
Use 1-based ranges, not 0-based.
Modern pdf viewer number pages from 1.
Additional context
Even pdfly cat --help shows that something is indeed wrong with the current approach:
Page range expression examples:
...
22 just the 23rd page. :-1 all but the last page
...
5: from the sixth page onward. -3:-1 third & second to last.
