post_parent needs an index

Description

Lots of the new functionality related to attachments and galleries and such causes queries which use the post_parent field in the posts table. This field is not indexed, meaning that queries for the images in a gallery cause a lot of DB work to be done. Indexing this field would reduce this work quite a bit, and speed up the creation of gallery displays in posts.

Suggest we add a new index on post_parent to the schema.

+1, I noticed that too. $post_parent stopped working with my multiple gallery support so I had to revert to $post_ID and $ID. Though I changed were I needed it, I still think this is a good idea.
