You didn't test this quite enough, because when I tried it I got a batch
of warnings about memory chunk inconsistencies. The reason was that
DefineIndex only allocated a classObjectId array large enough for the
key columns, so that the change in ComputeIndexAttrs made it write past
the end of that array. But I think it's a good idea to make those output
arrays all the same length, so I kept that change and changed DefineIndex.

Pushed; I've not checked to see if this makes valgrind happy, but
the buildfarm will tell us.
