preselect

Description

This patch adds an option to preselect an item by providing a number. This number is the item order in the input list starting from 0. A use case is for selecting media controls like in the following screenshot.

Create menu with the second item preselected:

echo -c 'item1\nitem2\nitem3' | dmenu -n 1
