[webservices] counting stages

The fdsnstationxml xschema shows that the "number" attribute on a
<ResponseStage> is a CounterType, which is an integer with <xs:minInclusive
value="0"/>. However, general usage, and the output from the web service
generally count stages starting at 1. Might be nice to have the schema
enforce this convention by having a separate counter type that starts at 1
for the cases where that makes sense. Especially since the seed usage of
stage zero meaning "overall gain" would be confusing if someone indexed
their ResponseStages starting at zero per the xschema.

thanks
