Start Frame input socket for Texture node

Issue

Image sequences with unique or random start frames per object should be easier to set up. There's no straightfoward method to set different start frames for different objects using the same material .

Proposal

Input socket for Start Frame and preferably also Frames and Offset fields.

That shouldn't be too difficult for the developers to implement, even the checkboxes could be exposed as sockets, and even the image could, if shader nodes was made to support the image socket

There was a recent improvement that's not exactly the same (makes use of Scene Frame), but in appearance it looks very similar:

projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/158946

I wonder if maybe the developer forums have a higher chance of someone picking this one up?

My non-programmer guessing suggest this might be a comfortable coffee break improvement.
