I did it in the tree transformations.  At the moment, it's only
HTML output that is affected.

This was an important issue so that following an index entry in HTML
would scroll the page so that the <dt> heading was visible.

It's harder to do in the parser itself because of the possibility of
@itemx, each use of which leads to a separate <dd> element in HTML output
which we want to be able to close, but the index anchor should be
inside a <dd>.

Example input:

@table @asis
@cindex Eeny
@item one
@cindex Meeny
@cindex Miney
aaa
@item two
bbb
@end table

Output:

<dl class="table">
<dt><a class="index-entry-id" id="index-Miney"></a>
<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-Meeny"></a>
<a id="index-Eeny"></a><span>one<a class="copiable-link" href="#index-Eeny"> 
&para;</a></span></dt>
<dd><p>aaa
</p></dd>
<dt>two</dt>
<dd><p>bbb
</p></dd>
</dl>

The index entries after @item aren't used for the copiable link, although
this could be changed.

If this looks ok I'll try to add tests to the test suite using this
transformation.
