Currently GstBin implements index support in a very 'simple' way, i.e. it just
forwards _set_index()/_get_index() on its *current* children.

What it should ideally do is the following:

* When _set_index() is called:
 * cache internally (with refcount) the new index
 * call _set_index on all current children (current behaviour)

* When a new child is added to a bin:
 * call _set_index on the new child with the currently cached index

* When _get_index() is called:
 * If we have a cached index, return that one
 * If not, call _get_index() on each child until we get one and return that
one.
