Creates a consistent GUID for an IFC entity related to a Revit element.
A "related" sub-element is one that is unique for a given type of element, and can
therefore by identified by a simple index value (e.g. PSet_Wall_Common property set for a wall.)
The index value 0 is reserved, as this would generate the GUID of the element itself.
A listing of known sub-elements is contained in IFCSubElementEnums.cs; it is
expected that this list would be maintained up-to-date, instead of passing arbitrary values
into this function.
