[XeTeX] index not showing up as an entry in the table of contents

[Veesh Goldman]

Actually, bidi does clobber imakeidx. In all of the document classes, bidi
redefines the \theindex environment. Some of the imakeidx functionality
also comes from redefining \theindex. I had problems with this in the past.
The only issue that would be presented with the op's patch is that there
won't be bidi support inside the index. That's easily solved by just using
othercode = \raggedleft when setting up the index.
