auto-increment-offset shouldn't be allowed to be greater than auto-increment-increment

[Arjen Lentz]

Apart from both of these variables not allowed to be 0, auto-increment-offset should not be allowed to be greater than auto-increment-increment as that would by definition create an invalid scenario.

For startup, this could be checked after the config/cmdline params are all processed - this to prevent chucking an error in case they're specified with offset first and increment second.
For live changes, it could be checked on the spot - although I'd question the sense/need of changing such params live.

It is not at all obvious to me that this situation "should not" be
allowed, and that it creates "by definition an invalid scenario".

Somehow I cannot derive A < B from the formula X = A + N*B.

I'd reckon you can get duplicates, as the # you get at is no longer within the safe bounds that can't be touched by another master?

Not sure about your formula re how auto-inc-offset/increment work.
