tools: ynl: use 1 as the default for first entry in attrs/ops

Pretty much all families use value: 1 or reserve as unspec
the first entry in attribute set and the first operation.
Make this the default. Update documentation (the doc for
values of operations just refers back to doc for attrs
so updating only attrs).

+Attributes (and operations) use ``1`` as the default value for the first
+entry (unlike enums in definitions which start from ``0``) because

+set value to ``0`` if needed.
 
 Note that the ``value`` of an attribute is defined only in its main set
 (not in subsets).
