Account for y labels being offset by NUM_SPECIAL_TOKENS when calling np.bincount in emnist balance subsampling.

The offsetting is found here:

y_train = data["dataset"]["train"][0, 0]["labels"][0, 0] + NUM_SPECIAL_TOKENS

and here:

y_test = data["dataset"]["test"][0, 0]["labels"][0, 0] + NUM_SPECIAL_TOKENS

np.bincount will prepend zeros for elements that were not found starting from 0 to y_min_element-1; this will bias the mean to be lower if not controlled and will result in fewer samples in the balanced dataset.

Example bug:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> y = np.array([0, 1, 0, 2, 1])
>>> np.bincount(y)
array([2, 2, 1])
>>> NUM_SPECIAL_TOKENS = 4
>>> np.bincount(y + NUM_SPECIAL_TOKENS)
array([0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 1])
