Event Hub components should expose initialOffset in manifest to control starting position (like Kafka)

[oising]

Describe the feature

When an PubSub or Binding component starts up with an empty/new checkpoint store, it starts at the latest position in the backing store. There should be an option to allow starting at the earliest.

Kafka supports this with initialOffset

See https://github.com/Azure/azure-event-hubs-go/blob/3dc3aeb6144e5d79a70d32f023f9d5990f81569d/persist/checkpoint.go#L29 in the azure SDK go SDK for the mechanism to support this.

This is an important one, imho.
