**[feature-requests:#554] add match index to beanshell replace context**

My use case is generating unique names to import RAM dimms in netbox: using dmidecode and grep I have a list of serial numbers, one per line. I want to generate the text "ramN,THE_SERIAL" using search/beanshell replace:
- search `(.+)`
- replace with `"ram" + index + "," + _0`

Padding, etc can be done by String.format, even if it's a bit ugly because beanshell doesn't understand vararg methods so the argument must be wrapped in an array: `String.format("ram%03d", new Object[]{index}) + "," + _0`

It could also be used to renumber markdown lists:
- search `^(\s+)[0-9]+\. )`
- replace with `_1 + index + ". "`

Or to compute simple odd/even classes in a table
- search `<tr>`
- replace with `"<tr class=\"" + (index % 2 == 0? "even" : "odd") + "\">"`
