Offset arg undocumented for import_key_images

[mrtestyboy781]

https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/wallet-rpc.html#import_key_images is missing documentation for offset param in the import_key_images rpc command. When performing very large key imports the monero_wallet_rpc throws error

{
 "error": {
   "code": -38,
   "message": "no connection to daemon"
 },

The solution is to chunk the key import by offset, which is undocumented

Nice! question, i dont understand how an offset achieves chunking? if i send 1 million key images with an offset of 10, will this send 1 key image at position 10? send everything in chunks of 10? use an inbuilt chunk value of x?

I have opened this now: monero-project/monero-site#2023

It it key images 10-1000009.
