Move indexing functionality to pm core, and extend

In 2.x, a common question has been regarding creating views relationships to parents of a specific type. This was cumbersome because it required chaining relationships, each time referencing only the immediate parent.

This is vastly improved in 3.x already (thanks to @D34dMan). Pm organization now maintains its own index of the organization attached to a specific node, whether it is the immediate parent or not. This means that we can use this relationship in views.

I propose that we extend this functionality to any node type. I think the simplest way would be to simply store all parents in the index. Then in the view, a standard node type filter could be used to select the org, project, etc.

Another way to do this would be to store the node type of the parent in the index as well, and configure this as part of the views relationship, but this feels to me like it duplicates functionality that the standard node type filter already provides.
