PR Summary

Picked up from #21168. Adds an offset parameter to MultipleLocator so the ticks can all be shifted by a given value.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as mticker

_, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(range(10))
locator = mticker.MultipleLocator(base=3, offset=0.3)
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(locator)

plt.show()

### To Do

1. Agree whether offset is the best name for the new parameter.
2. Address documentation tasks in the below checklist, but I wanted to get feedback on the principle and the parameter name before I went all in.
