Stage one proposal: Changes to indexing

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

Back history:

• <indexterm> was part of DITA 1.0
• The indexing domain (<index-see>, <index-see-also>, and <index-sort-as>) and <index-base>was introduced in DITA 1.1.
• In DITA 1.3, we added <sort-as>.

I want to suggest that we clean this up for DITA 2.0:

• Remove the indexing domain, and add <index-see> and <index-see-also> to the base
• Remove <index-sort-as> and just use <sort-as>
